Sandy Point State Park is a public recreation area on Chesapeake Bay, located at the western end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.[4] The state park is known for the popularity of its swimming beach, with annual attendance exceeding one million visitors.[5] The park grounds include the Sandy Point Farmhouse, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[6] The historic Sandy Point Shoal Lighthouse stands in about five feet of water some 1,000 yards (910 m) east of the park's beach.[7]
