Shores in Southern Maryland

[ViolaceousTiger]

Hey everyone I'm doing a project in marine biology at CSM where I have to collect 30 marine organisms and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good or half way decent public shores that are good for walking along to find any kind of shells or marine plants, does anyone know of any shores on the patuxent or potomac that are okay? I know of some but I would just like to hear any recommendations.

Purse and Smallwood might produce what you're looking for.

Do you have access to the base? There are several beaches at Pax and the Annex at Solomons. There are also beaches at the Ranch Club and a small one over at Solomons across from Our Lady.

You don't happen to know what time the low tide is do you? It sounds like a good place for searching. I'll definitely try that next weekend. thanks for the link.

You can come down here where I live (Wicomoco Shores). There's a public beach here.

What about Elm's Beach? It has public access, and I didn't see it on that list. I don't know what kind of plants and organisms you'll find though.

I don't have access to the base and I really have no clue where it is, but yeah I'll try Solomons across from Our Lady? Where/What is Our Lady? I have no idea. Not really familiar with that area.

301 south to left on 234 east, go about 10 mi. to right on Aviation Yacht Club Rd. (just after race tracks) Follow 1.5 mi. to a T & turn right, follow 3/4 mi. to public park.

Our Lady Star of the Sea is the big white Catholic Church. On your left as you go onto the Island.

I use this tide chart to plan my walks along the beach...just pick a location.

How about Allen's Fresh Run on RT 234 just south off of RT 301? Or maybe Chapel Point State Park just south of Port Tobacco? Both only a skip and a jump from La Plata.
