North Beach is a town located in northern Calvert County. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.34 square miles, of which 0.33 square miles is land and 0.01 square miles is water. North Beach shares a border to the south with the Town of Chesapeake Beach. The eastern border is with the Chesapeake Bay. The community of Owings is located to the west.
The Town of North Beach was originally platted in 1900 and then re-platted in 1908. It was formally incorporated in 1910. It was established as strictly a residential town with ads running in local newspapers proclaiming North Beach as “Washington’s most popular salt water resort.”
Early visitors arrived to the Town via steamboat, railroad, oxen carts, trolley car and automobiles. For more than one hundred years, residents and visitors have enjoyed the Town’s numerous amenities. They included swimming, crabbing, boating, gambling, and fine local restaurants. There is a pier and boardwalk. The town had top named bands, carnivals and parades.
In addition to the boardwalk, North Beach has multiple parks including Wetlands Overlook Park, Sunrise Garden, Callis Park, and the Walton Beach Nature Preserve. It is also the home of the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Maryland.
Revitalization of North Beach began in the 1980’s and escalated in the 1990s. Tropical Storm Isabel destroyed many of the waterfront homes and boardwalk in 2003. Since then, the waterfront of North Beach has been rebuilt with multi-story homes and a condominium.
