April 10, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

Maryland is known as “America in Miniature” because of its great variations in topography and culture. This makes it a perfect east coat travel destination for those who would like to experience a little bit of everything. From amusement parks, to beaches, to mountains and historical sites, there is plenty to see and do. Each region of Maryland provides its own unique and fun activities to do. If you're headed for some fun in the sun in Ocean City on its eastern coast, be sure not to miss the Ocean City Beach, the Boardwalk, or Trimper's Rides and Amusement Park for an all-ages fun experience. Central Maryland is home to a Six Flags theme park, the Annapolis Golf Club, and countless hubs of art and culture such as the African Art Museum and Annapolis Opera, Inc. Heading to western Maryland? It is perfect for lovers of nature and the outdoors, with the Washington Monument State Park, Wisp Resort ski slopes, and the spectacular Muddy Creek Falls.

Olmsted Island

Reviewed By WANDERLUSTFULLY - Potomac, United States

Being such a spectacular view, it obviously attracts many people. Far better than the Virginia side in my opinion, it is best seen at crack of dawn or sunset. Frigid temps keep crowds away, as do inclement mornings, but those are precisely when the river and overlook is most dramatic!

Tilghman Island

Historic and picturesque island in Chesapeake Bay.

AN EXTRAORDINARILY SAFE FIRST-CLASS STAY at the Gorgeous Tilghman Island Inn! For those of you looking for a respite from today's news, I recommend a visit to the Tilghman Island Inn. We have visited the Inn for over 30 years and the latest renovation has finally turned an unbelievably beautiful location into a first-class Inn. From my first phone contact with Sherri to our checkout with Murielle, we had delightful and informative help with every question. They are stringent with their COVID regime and we felt completely safe throughout our stay. The new, COVID-safe breakfast was such a treat I can only hope they will keep it after the pandemic is finally gone. We picked up our pre-packaged breakfast at the desk and took it outside to eat on the deck overlooking the Nature Preserve across the narrow inlet from the Inn. TWO EAGLES, a heron, a spectacular egret and numerous other water birds entertained us while we ate fresh baguette slices with charcuterie, fresh orange and grapefruit slices, delicious cheese, a fresh mini chocolate croissant and mini apple tart and the BEST bite of smoked poached salmon & cream cheese I have ever eaten! Our second floor room with balcony overlooking the waterway and Nature Preserve was comfortable, roomy and had a terrific gas fireplace which we tried just because it was there! The beautiful bathroom with jacuzzi tub had lovely complimentary essentials and a stunning glass door with their amazing logo. The complimentary bottles of water were also most welcome. The always safely-distanced and masked staff made our stay a total treat and total success. Go and enjoy!!

Smith Island

An island in the Chesapeake where residents live much as their ancestors did hundreds of years ago.

Reviewed By richardlP4160CP - Chestertown, United States

Finally something to do after 5pm. Jack and Pickles just opened after many years of nothing for visitors after dark. Smith Island doesn’t sell any adult beverages do bring your own and go see Elly and Terry. Worth admission to hang out with your favorite BYOB for sunset.
