Anderson Bay
When Bruce's parents retired to this farm on the Rapphannock River, we soon followed and moved to Lancaster County in 1976. We fell in love with this rural area and the beautiful water views.
The
Chesapeake Bay has great beaches for young children and toddlers, as the waves
are small and not as forceful as the Atlantic's. You can often wade way out
into the water and still only be knee-deep. Building sandcastles and watching
the incoming tide fill the moats with water is a wonderful way to spend an
afternoon with your young ones.
There are stinging sea nettles that live in the Bay in the summertime, from about June 15th to the end of August. You can still go crabbing if you wear old pantyhose under your bathing suit, as the nettles slip right off the nylon without stinging.
