holly point nature park

Adjacent to the maritime museum. Very well laid out and maintained. Picnic tables on the water, beautiful natural trees and plantings indigenous to the area. Easy access and ties well with the museum. Bring your lunch from the Cafe By The Bay and enjoy.

we just happened upon this place and are glad we did... beautiful grounds, nice walking trails, a small maritime museum, a new events pavilion (very nice spot for wedding or event), an outdoor stage, and 3 historic boats all overlooking the Chesapeake bay. grounds have plenty of flowers and some sculptures. there are ample open grassy areas and also plenty of shade trees. near the well shaded outdoor stage is a lovely wood gazebo with chairs and tables. other picnic tables scattered about the property. a copse of forest has trails with plenty of benches, and multiple signs to help identify trees and plants. we thoroughly enjoyed our road break.at the wharf (adjacent to the stage/gazebo) are refurbished working boats from the bays history as well as a replica of the small craft capt. john smith used to explore the Chesapeake in the early years of Virginia
