Free parking, plus a portable toilet, will be immediately to your right after the guard station. Another bonus is that the area behind the beach is largely undeveloped, making this a particularly pretty spot to soak up some sun. Once open only to military personnel, Dam Neck's beaches started welcoming the public in 1998. The Fleet Combat Training Center Atlantic Dam Neck has wide, secluded beaches right along the Atlantic Ocean. The Shifting Sands and Sea Breeze beaches are open daily from 10 AM to 6 PM during warmer months.
Lifeguards are on duty.
There is plenty of parking nearby. Also available are barbecue and picnic areas as well as a snack bar, showers and equipment rentals. The beach is at General Booth Boulevard and Dam Neck Road. This is one of two popular Chesapeake Bay beaches. To find it from the resort area, take Atlantic Avenue to 82nd Street and bear left onto Shore Drive.
