Going north from the entertainment bandshell, which is visible in the right of this picture, in the direction of the railway station, one would find the dancing pavilion, several eateries, a photo studio, and a swimming area. During the peak of the summer season, thousands of visitors would make the day trip to the Beach. For more historical information, please visit the Chesapeake Railway Museum.
