Maryland has always been one of those places I love returning to. With its abundant waterways and beautiful coastlines along the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, there’s something relaxing and energizing about it all at once. As a mid-Atlantic state, Maryland offers so many ways to unwind, explore, and just enjoy the view.
I’ve had so much fun in Maryland’s seaside cities—each one packed with character, great food, and scenic charm. Whether I’m heading out on the water or strolling a historic harbor, I always find new reasons to come back. And when it comes to places to stay? Maryland has some incredible options. These are a few I personally recommend when you’re ready to make some coastal memories of your own.
