Situated between Little Round Bay and Round Bay, Saint Helena Island is around 17 miles from Baltimore and five miles upriver from Annapolis. The island is home to a wide array of species of birds, such as ospreys, kingfishers, great blue herons, geese, and ducks. Formerly the setting for a deer park, Saint Helena Island features a beach measuring 10 to 15 feet wide on the island’s western side, as well as a cove on its northeast side. Grooved axes, stone chips, and clay pottery shards serve as evidence that Woodland period peoples and Native Americans once inhabited the island.
