The District of St. Mary's is blessed with a lot of clean water - our uncrowded coastal beaches, lakes and rivers. All of these are great for swimming. The Atlantic coastal beaches are warm enough for swimming in August - September, but our lakes and rivers warm up much sooner, usually by June.

The main St. Mary's River has a deep 2 mile stillwater that is great for swimming, as these kids know.
