Located about an hour and a half from Washington DC at the mouth of the Patuxent River, Solomons Island is a popular destination for boaters cruising Chesapeake Bay. You can also reach the island by crossing the impressive 135-feet long Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge. The view of the island from the bridge is spectacular. Calvert Marine Museum is a great place to learn about life on the Bay. The Chesapeake Biological Laboratory and the Annemarie Garden Sculpture Park are also interesting places to visit.  Get the feel of the island spirit by taking a stroll along the River Walk Boardwalk on the banks of the Patuxent River. You can also grab something to eat or just enjoy the view.
