Chesapeake Bay is America’s largest estuary that flows right into the Atlantic Ocean and runs up the coast for many miles. Large cities lie on her shores, including Annapolis, Charlestown, Havre De Grace, Baltimore, Kent Island, Taylor’s Island, Bloodsworth Island, Smith Island, and the Chesapeake and Virginia Beaches. Several other smaller towns and fishing villages throughout her shores as well. Other notable cities and towns along the Chesapeake Bay include the fine arts city of Chestertown, the famous port-town of Oxford, the adventurous Deal Island, Chesapeake City, the Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michael’s, Cambridge, the Hart-Miller Island, Hooper’s Island, Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, Calvert Cliffs, and so many more. Each unique place along the bay and the waters offers more than enough for a day trip.
