East Beach is designed to foster human connection through both natural and man-made features. With its network of pedestrian-scaled streets, sidewalks, and public parks and greens, it just seems natural to leave your car at home. To stop and chat with the neighbors. To organize an impromptu softball game. Or simply to make an after-dinner stroll through the neighborhood part of your evening routine.

And always, at the end of the street, there is the water: the Chesapeake Bay, and Pretty Lake. With the beaches, gentle waves, and natural beauty of the Chesapeake Bay beckoning you to reflect. Relax. Swim. Or just read a book. And at the other end of the street, Pretty Lake, with its marinas offering direct access to the Bay, and all the maritime activity that goes on there. Fishing. Crabbing. Racing in the Wednesday night sailboat races. Or simply sailing for the pleasure of it.
