Improved Fishing Access at Sandy Point State Park

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Eastern
Location: Sandy Point State Park

Anyone who has traveled across the westbound span of the Bay Bridge these past few months has probably noticed the renovation of the jetty protecting the entrance to the boat ramp and harbor area at Sandy Point State Park. DNR officials decided to improve the fishing access at the jetty to better accommodate shore bound fishermen in conjunction with making the necessary repairs to the jetty this winter. Anglers have had to risk walking over uneven rocks in the past to enjoy the good fishing for croakers, spot, white perch and striped bass off the jetty. The flat surface seen in the pictures below will offer fishermen and families safe access to one of the best shore side fishing locations in the bay and the high jetty rocks alongside will offer better protection to the harbor entrance. The project is expected to be completed by mid-April.
