Salt marshes, tidal creeks, historic boats and boardwalks offer intimate Chesapeake Bay scenes — great for water reflections, birdlife and maritime details. Visit at sunrise or golden hour for warm light and calm water; low tide reveals mudflats and foreground textures. The Park Campus has a small parking area and accessible boardwalks; no ticket required for outdoor areas. Expect seasonal bird migrations (spring/fall) and quieter weekdays. Bring insect repellent in summer.
