East Beach of Sandy Point State Park in Maryland. This was the beach for "colored people" in 1952. Small, and muddy compared to the South Beach, it's also prone to rip currents in the Chesapeake Bay.

#Hike7 of my #52HikesChallenge was at Sandy Point State Park (so, working on my New Year Resolution too!). This MD State Park was established in 1952, but segregated. A month later, the NAACP sued to integrate. That suit failed, and a second suit won (and an appeal was refused by SCOTUS). #ParkChat
