Cobb Island  is a small secluded island about 45 miles from Washington, D.C. where the Wicomico and Potomac rivers meet. Cobb Island is connected to the mainland by a 0.11-mile-long bridge on  Maryland Route 254. The island is divided from the mainland by Neale Sound.

The sleepy island’s population has a small post office, a volunteer fire department, a Baptist church, a small playground for children, and a large community green space known as Fisherman's Field.

Local restaurants have a marina attached, so those who visit by boat can dock right in front of establishments overlooking the water. The island has a small art gallery that is also a local bakery.
