Chesapeake Bay Beach Highlights

By Travel Expert: Sarah White
  • Follow North Beach's rustic boardwalk to a quiet, secluded beach and serene twilight in Calvert County.
  • Wander the two-mile trail in Calvert Cliffs State Park to a small beach where an exceptional view of the multicolored Calvert Cliffs—formed more than 15 million years ago—dominates the shoreline.
  • Learn about the traditional Chesapeake oystering vessels known as skipjacks, and see the historic boats restored year-round in the Chesapeake Maritime Museum on Saint Michaels boatyard.
  • In October, the annual Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival showcases hundreds of vessels handcrafted by amateur and professional boat builders.
