Summer on the Middle Peninsula is packed with sunshine, seafood and spontaneous adventures. From beach days at Gwynn’s Island to backyard BBQs with friends, there’s always somewhere to go.
That’s where carpooling comes in (not just for work ride sharing)—and it’s easier (and more fun) than you might think!
Save on Gas: Split the cost and keep more cash for crab cakes and snow cones.
Less Parking Stress: Fewer cars = more space, especially at popular beaches or events.
Good Company: Turn your ride into part of the fun—catch up, swap playlists, and maybe even plan the next hangout.
Greener Travels: Every shared ride helps reduce emissions and protect the beautiful Chesapeake Bay region we all love.
Whether you’re off to Bethel Beach, Yorktown or another local waterfront spot, beach parking can get tight (especially on beautiful days). Plan ahead with friends or neighbors and coordinate one vehicle. Load up your chairs, towels and coolers—and hit the road together.
Pro tip: Bring a small bin for sandy shoes and wet gear, so your carpool crew rides home in comfort.
Attending a cookout or family reunion? Reach out to others going and suggest riding together. It’s a great way to:
Avoid multiple cars clogging driveways or rural roads.
Arrive together and avoid the “Who’s already there?” group text confusion.
Keep the party vibes rolling from driveway to destination.
This summer, let’s make every trip a little easier—and a lot more social. Whether you’re chasing sunsets, bonfires or just a good hotdog, carpooling brings people together before the party even starts.
