4 published guides in this county. Use the named arrival information first; facility evidence is too limited for a feature-based recommendation. 1 guide has boat-only arrival: plan transport and the lawful landing separately. Feature counts describe documented routes, not all beaches or every entrance in the county.
Start with the named arrivals in these guides; route-specific features are still being verified. Counts refer to beaches with a qualifying named entrance, not every entrance. These are planning details, not current opening or guard duty.

Deal Island Harbor Beach
A named public beach beside Deal Island’s working harbor, reached from Ralph Abbott Road. Keep beach access separate from boat-ramp operations.
Janes Island Beach / Flatcap Beach
Boat-only Chesapeake beach access through Janes Island State Park, with saltmarsh water trails and a dock-to-beach approach at Flatcap. Mainland facilities remain a separate part of the trip.
Raccoon Point Beach and Park
A county beach and picnic stop on the Manokin River, with a sand soft-launch area and a pavilion. It is a coastal estuarine shore, not an inland lake.
Wellington Beach and Park
A small municipal coastal river beach with nonmotorized sand launching, picnic/playground context and a separately described public dock.
Coverage and evidence
This directory contains 4 named-shore guide summaries. These are not counts of distinct entrances or a certified complete county shoreline inventory. Additional water-access observations, ramps, docks, geographic leads and unresolved shore candidates retain separate private research dispositions; none becomes a beach merely because it appears in an inventory.
Use the named managing authority and exact arrival. A boat launch, rental booking, campground registration or historical source does not establish unrestricted beach access, swimming permission or a continuous public shoreline. Map references are approximate planning points, not navigation waypoints.
Map pins are approximate planning references. Check the exact guide for lawful arrival and manager notices. Forecasts, tide predictions, laboratory samples and warning flags retain separate sources and dates.
