Established in 1922, Bay Ridge is a vibrant waterfront community on the Chesapeake Bay, known for its natural beauty, shared amenities, and a long tradition of civic involvement through the Bay Ridge Civic Association.
Residents enjoy common grounds and shorelines along the Chesapeake Bay and Severn River, with views of the Bay Bridge, the U.S. Naval Academy, and the historic Thomas Point Lighthouse.

Everything the association handles, five doors in. Members can pay dues and fees, find a neighbor, book the clubhouse, or see what's happening this weekend.

Nestled at 80 East Lake Drive on Lake Ogleton, the Bay Ridge Marina is a Certified Maryland Clean Marina offering exclusive access for BRCA members — and a new kayak launch as of Spring 2026.

Bay Ridge's shared lands stretch from quiet community beaches along Bay and River Drives to the wooded trails of the Big Woods, protected under a conservation easement and cared for by resident volunteers.
