[2] In 2019 Maryland's Natural Resources Department mandated that the Beverley Beach Community Association open the beachfront to the public.
Kalb reserved the bayfront property for an exclusive day resort attraction, which was also named Beverley Beach, and for his own personal residence.
At the very north end, there was a dance floor and a bandstand, very popular with local young people on Fridays, Saturdays, and holiday eves.
Kalb combatted these with nettle nets which were erected around the swimming area (which was roughly a truncated semi-circle which extended perhaps 100–120 feet into the Chesapeake).
The nettle nets were actually panels of wire mesh (with quarter-inch openings) installed between semi-permanent wood pilings in May and removed into storage each September.
On weekends during its peak, Beverley Beach drew hundreds of cars and several busloads of people from the Washington and Baltimore areas.
Segregation in Maryland was strong in the forties and early fifties, and although Beverley Beach employed many of Mayo's black community, they were not permitted in the resort except as employees.
In 1998 The Baltimore Sun reported, [Kalb] kept a sign by the door that allowed only 'white gentiles' in, though many remember him also denying access to people of Mediterranean descent, Muslims, Hindus, Asians and Russians.
