ing an unalloyed pleasure. No fee Is asked
either for entrance to grounds or pavilion.
Frequent and adequate car service brings
Chevy Chase Lake within easy reaching

day steamers of the Norfolk and WASH
ington Steamboat Company are transport

the chance to see the interesting and pic

For those who like salt water and the
breezes from the waves they break on
the shore, Chesapeake Beach is ideal
summer resort. 1t Is, in fact, the only salt
water resort anywhere near Washingt ton.
There the fishing and Grabbing are of the
finest, and there rowboats and salboats
can be had for trips of any duration up
and down the stretches Of Chesapeake
bay.
The bathing beach and the bathhouse
facilities are such that going in swimming
there is a delight. Along the extended
pier, which reaches nearly mile into the
bay, there are hundreds of people every
day fishing for crabs. On the mammoth
boardwalk, far out from the shore, there
are such amusement places the roller
coaster, the scenic railway, the dancing
pavilion, where Haleys Band furnishes
the music, the merry-go-round and numer-
Gus other attractions.
AS a place for picnics the beach is also
ideal. Excursionists can take their lunches
with them and serve them on the board
walk or under the rustic arbors along the
shore.
