Jetty Repairs. Sandy Point Park, Maryland.
The jetty is located at an entrance channel that provides waterway access to the boating facility at Sandy Point State Park, a popular park on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The facility consists of boat ramps, floating docks, fixed piers with slips, a concession building, a comfort station, fuel dock, and parking lots. The jetty provides protection for the channel and is a popular location for fishing. The deteriorating condition of the 630 foot long stone public jetty was improved by widening, raising, and patching the structure.
