Cherry Beach

**Location & Facilities**
Cherry Beach is a public boat ramp located in Sharptown, Maryland, providing access to the Nanticoke River and its connected waterways (Mill Creek and Dennis Creek). The site features one boat ramp and a long dock suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. Paved parking is available for boat trailers.

**Best For**
This access point is ideal for paddlers and boaters looking to explore the lower Nanticoke River and its tributaries in Maryland's Atlantic Coastal Plain. The site operates from dawn to dusk and offers a straightforward launch option without extensive amenities. Paddlers should be aware that this is a more basic facility compared to nearby alternatives like Cedar Hill Marina (in Bivalve), which offers more extensive services including courtesy docks and restroom facilities.

**Planning Your Visit**
Cherry Beach provides direct water access to a network of paddling routes including the Nanticoke River main stem and adjacent creeks. Before launching, check current water conditions and tidal information for the Nanticoke River system, as conditions can vary seasonally. For paddlers seeking additional amenities or facilities, several other launch sites are located nearby along the river corridor.
