Chesapeake Bay Travel Tips

Learn to sail out of scenic Annapolis Harbor with the Annapolis Sailing School, or the Chesapeake Sailing School. Courses include kids' classes, two-day introductory programs, or weeklong live-aboard certification courses.
Bike the quiet Maryland back roads around Deale, passing marshland, soy fields, local tributaries, and local crab joints for a taste of the bay's famous seafood.
Go where the watermen gather for a pitcher of beer and a table covered with crabs at a local institution such as Cantler's Riverside Inn in Annapolis.
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.

Serious birdwatchers know that Virginia’s Eastern Shore is the place to be each fall, as millions of songbirds, raptors, shorebirds, and waterfowl fly south for the winter along the Mid-Atlantic flyway. Newbies can get acquainted with it all during the Eastern Shore of Virginia Birding & Wildlife Festival, held each September.
