An hour away from the Annapolis area if you don't mind the drive: "Beaver Dam Swimming Club in Baltimore County is an adventurer's oasis. The 30-acre site is home to a freshwater quarry and features multiple floating and jumping platforms, a diving board, two spinning logs and a Tarzan-style rope swing for those who seek a more thrilling water entry. Feel free to bring your own floats and tubes too. (There are also two pools if you must swim in the chlorinated, clearer waters.)"

About an hour away in Calvert County, MD: Featuring a half mile of bay-front sandy shore and a netted swimming area, Breezy Point Beach is an unspoiled spot to beat the heat. With plenty of space for sandcastles and shark-tooth hunting as well as a playground and picnic area, the park is a definite kid-pleaser. (The shore line can be a bit pebbly so bring water shoes). There is also a 200-foot pier for fishing and crabbing if you want to secure your supper. .
Breezy Point is open from 6 a.m. to dusk.
Entry to the park is cash only. Admission is $10 on weekends and $6 on weekdays for adults;

For a fun sailing experience with Paul, I highly recommend the Non Sea Quitter. This is a 38' classic sailboat that carries up to six guests along with Paul as captain and a mate. They are all subjected to random drug testing. They have many excellent reviews on Trip Advisor, Google and Facebook. Non Sea Quitter is berthed at Annapolis Landing Marina which is also accessible by water taxi. They do three regularly scheduled tours each day for private groups of up to six, but are always open to special itineraries and customized voyages. Visit www.nonseaquitter.com for details and a brief video with aerial footage
