What to do and see in St. Michaels, Maryland (MD): The Best Free Things to do
Calling itself "The Heart & Soul of the Chesapeake Bay," the town of Saint Michaels, Maryland retains the look and feel of a 19th century seaport. Walk on red brick sidewalks past the Victorian homes and boutique shops of the historic district, or head down to the pier in search of famously fresh seafood. The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum preserves the history of Saint Michaels, with restored examples of "bugeyes" and "skipjacks," unique boats developed by the fisherman of Chesapeake Bay.

This is exactly what you would expect to find in a place like St.M's. Quaint shop, featuring local artists, whimsical items, literally something for everyone if you are looking for a gift and even if you are not you will see something so unique it will remind you of someone to buy it for. Great mask selection, fun nautical themes!
2. The Candleberry Shoppe

This is a great shop on the eastern shore, having won the most unique gift shop on the eastern shore by What's Up Magazine. It is a very eclectic shop with something for everyone from a Kid's room with childrens & baby clothing and unique toys and books not found in your big box stores. When you walk into the shop you will find an extensive selection of signs with the ability to custom signs as well as wine glasses, pottery, coasters, and more. The shop is stocked with Woodwick candles, Jim Shore, Willow tree, homemade soaps and candles, wine accessories, and of course what would a shop on the eastern shore be if they didn't sell crab glasses, trays, wine bottle stoppers, napkins, towels and more. A great shop for eveyone in the family with prices unheard of in St. Michaels!

We adore this little shop and come here a few times a year to stock up on olive oils and balsamics. In fact, Olivins oils and balsamics are the only thing we use on our salads and in our cooking now. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and he has a ton of great ideas as far as using the various oils and balsamics in recipes. Definitely a great little shop. Looking forward to our next visit to St. Michael's and stopping in again.

The barista was very knowledgeable and "walked" us through the various selections offered by Lyon's Distellery. We had fun tasting the many varieties, and purchased several.
