- Anne Arundel
This named shore is in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Use its named arrival; no city or town boundary is inferred.
Anne Arundel County coastal shores
A Severn River sunning and hand-carried-boat shore beside a fishing pier. The park-support organization says swimming is not permitted.
Good fit: A Severn River sunning and hand-craft shoreline visit, separate from the old-bridge fishing pier.
Plan around: The Friends explicitly advise that swimming is not permitted because of an undercurrent and deep shelf; this attributed warning is not a newly confirmed county rule. Exact dog-on-sand and accessible-water endpoints remain unconfirmed.

Entry route, fees & access boundaries
- Manager / access authority
- Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks; partner interpretation is separately identified.
- Access basis
- Use the named Jonas and Anne Catharine Green Park Beach managed coastal arrival. Verify current posted entry conditions; historical shoreline ownership alone does not establish a route.
- Where to enter
- Use the named Jonas and Anne Catharine Green Park Beach managed coastal arrival. Verify current posted entry conditions; historical shoreline ownership alone does not establish a route.
- Fees & reservations
- A complete current beach-specific fee/pass/payment policy was not established. Do not borrow another regional park’s charges.
- Restrictions & exceptions
- Use the sandy shore for sunning or launching hand-carried craft and the designated old-bridge extension for fishing. The park-support organization says swimming is not permitted, dogs must be leashed, and alcohol is prohibited. These conditions do not authorize use of adjacent private shore.
- What this label covers
- Use the named Jonas and Anne Catharine Green Park Beach managed coastal arrival. Verify current posted entry conditions; historical shoreline ownership alone does not establish a route.
Beach ownership, the route across land, public shoreline-use rights and access to facilities are separate questions. Rules vary by state and location. Use the identified public entrance or documented permission; neither a nearby resort nor an admission fee by itself establishes that a beach is private. A mapped beach is not permission to cross private property.
Access policy reviewed 2026-11-04. Not a live closure report or a property-boundary survey.
Allowed & prohibited activities
Alcohol: Alcohol rules are not confirmed for this beach.
What still needs confirmation
A beach-specific alcohol rule beyond the linked manager’s published park conditions was not established; do not substitute restaurant service permissions.
Fires and grills: Any permitted fire or grill areas still need confirmation. Follow the restrictions stated here.
What still needs confirmation
Independent beach-fire permission was not established. A park picnic grill or booked operator bonfire is a different authorization.
Overnight camping: Overnight beach camping permission is not confirmed.
What still needs confirmation
The Severn sunning/handcraft shore and fishing pier are daytime park uses with separately posted gate/fishing clocks. No current overnight tent-camping entitlement at this beach was established.
Shore fishing: Use the fishing pier/old bridge extension and observe Maryland license/regulations; sunning/launch beach is not a verified swimming zone.

Conditions & activities Surf, sand, wildlife and suitability
Conditions at the beach
Local times use Eastern Time. No beach observation or saved forecast is displayed here. Forecast issue times, observation times, tide prediction dates and laboratory sample dates remain separate from desk-research dates. A linked source does not confirm current opening, a warning flag or swimming safety.
Weather observation
No exact on-beach weather observation or observation station is assigned here. The linked National Weather Service page provides forecast navigation; a forecast is a prediction, not an observed beach condition.
Daily forecast
The independently checked National Weather Service point-forecast link is available for this approximate planning point. The returned source is a regional land grid covering an area beyond the beach. No saved numeric forecast is displayed here. Forecast issue and prediction times are separate from source review and are not on-beach observations.
High & low tides
An exact tide prediction station and beach timing relationship were not verified. Chesapeake station clocks and tidal-creek timing must be scoped separately.
Surf & rip forecast
An exact applicable surf/rip bulletin was not established for this bay shore. Do not inherit an ocean surf product or another beach’s warning.
Closures & warning flags
No dated observed beach warning flag is asserted. Review the exact manager page and local health notices; a seasonal program or undated notice is not today’s condition.
Water quality
Check Anne Arundel Health’s Beach Swim Guide for the exact named location and sample date. This research does not claim a current sample, advisory clearance or safe water.
National Weather Service point forecast ↗ for the independently reviewed approximate planning point.
Crowd meter
No dated entrance-specific crowd survey was located. Reservation controls and limited parking describe admission arrangements, not a guaranteed quiet visit.
Sand & sandcastles
The named shore’s sandy beach or sandy launch/sunning footprint is described by the responsible source; its boundaries are not a surveyed shoreline parcel.
Surfing profile
A verified beach-specific wave or surf suitability rating was not established; Chesapeake Bay boat wakes and weather must not be presented as an Atlantic surf forecast.
Beachcombing
A reliable exact-beach notable shelling resource and collection interpretation were not established. Do not promise finds or assume collecting permission.
No reliable named-beach shark-tooth destination evidence was established; regional Chesapeake fossils do not establish finds here.
Snorkeling & scuba diving
No documented exact-shore snorkeling route, underwater visibility or suitability assessment was established. General paddling or swimming access is not a snorkeling recommendation.
No verified recreational beach-entry scuba route was established. County-local paddlesport rentals are not scuba access or offshore-snorkeling proof.
Clothing-optional, nudity & topless sunbathing
No current exact-beach clothing-optional or full-nudity permission was established. Keep this beach out of verified nude/clothing-optional matches.
A separate exact-beach female-topless sunbathing ruling was not established. Silence or a full-nudity rule does not establish topless permission.
Shore & sky wildlife
The reviewed manager and park-support pages describe the Severn shore, pier and visitor uses but do not establish an exact-beach wildlife checklist or dated observation. Do not import wildlife examples from Sandy Point or another county.
History & interesting facts
The park-support organization says the park honors colonial Annapolis residents Jonas Green, Maryland’s public printer, and Anne Catharine Green. Fishing uses the remains of the former bridge; that history does not authorize swimming at the present shore.
Water clarity & shore snorkeling
Typical clarity: Not yet assessed. Typical underwater clarity has not been assessed for this named shore. Water color, laboratory samples and forecasts do not measure visibility.
Shore snorkeling not yet assessed. No documented exact-shore snorkeling route, underwater visibility or suitability assessment was established. General paddling or swimming access is not a snorkeling recommendation.
Typical clarity describes how easily you may see through the water. It does not establish bacterial water quality, safe swimming, calm conditions or visibility today.
