The Chesapeake Bay has no beaches like those along the Atlantic Coast,

There are beaches, including some quite nice ones, from BP down to the
Solomons, and there's some darn fine beaches further down on this side
of the Bay and on the other side, too. You have to go out farther than
the buoys in the bay near where you keep your boat.

We just have different views on what constitutes a nice beach, Harry. Yes,
North Beach, Ches. Beach, even Calvert Cliffs have 'beaches', in which one
can swim in dirty water. If you enjoy swimming in the Chesapeake, go for
it.


Ahh, you've taken water samples at Calvert Cliffs recently. What were
the results? And what were the results from there down to just about the
Pax River? How about Plum Point, Dares Beach? How about Calvert Beach
and Long Beach? Got the readings?

One doesn't need readings to see dirty water. Calvert Beach is a fun place
to go searching for shark's teeth, but surely you've not done a lot of
swimming there?

And if you have, that's OK. If you think that water cannot be enjoyed
without swimming in same, help yourself.
