Nestled on the Chesapeake's western shore, the town of North Beach epitomizes "land of pleasant living." Its seven-block waterfront contains a public fishing pier, and a new half-mile-long boardwalk with accompanying bike path. The boardwalk is dotted with benches for residents and visitors alike to linger an Bay-watch. Located at the northern tip of Calvert County, North Beach also encompasses a wildlife refuge in its tidal marshlands, home to native wildlife and host to seasonal migrations.
