Maryland's Eastern Shore
Things To Do & See

Your visit to Eastern Shore Maryland can be anything you want, from total relaxation to a “Let’s see it all” vacation. Cambridge, a short drive from our Chesapeake Bay estate, is rich in maritime history. The Eastern Shore of Maryland allows for everything from quaint historical tours to day trips to St. Michael’s or to the beach in Ocean City. You can also take to the water - fishing or exploring Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries in your own boat. Arrangements can even be made to have a rental boat waiting for you when you arrive!

Charter fishing boats, champagne sunset cruises, light house tours and sail boat charters are available for your enjoyment. Or you can go fishing and crabbing right in RCR's backyard in a well stocked pond or off the dock of the bay.

Boats, canoes, kayaks and bikes can be rented locally. There is a small grocery store 3 miles from our retreat.

Local grocery store / breakfast & sandwich shop /
hardware & fishing tackle store / internet cafe / gas station.
