Annapolis Travel Tips

  • Cruise Chesapeake Bay in a 74-foot wooden schooner with Schooner Woodwind Cruises. Two-hour public sailing tours cost $34 to $37.
  • Or hoist the sails yourself at Annapolis Sailing School, where a weekend course ($475) provides you with all you need to know to handle a four-man sloop.
  • Bike through the U.S. Naval Academy on a system of paved trails, but be sure to bring a picture ID, as access to the grounds is controlled by security checkpoints.
  • Grab a mallet and crack open Maryland crab at Jimmy Cantler's Riverside Inn, where locals mash the crustaceans at outdoor picnic tables near the Annapolis City Dock.
