Visit Maryland Now A small state that’s big on fun. We’re talking the Chesapeake Bay, the biggest and most beautiful estuary in the U.S. with nearly 12,000 miles of coastline, big. And since Maryland is right-sized for fun, the Chesapeake Bay is an easy drive from Western Maryland’s mountains, Ocean City’s Atlantic shore, and the big city fun of Baltimore. We’re home to the Preakness Stakes, middle jewel of horse racing’s famed Triple Crown, and big-time sports action with the Orioles, Ravens, and Terps. We’ve got the rich history and sweeping vistas of our Civil War battlefields, and the inspiring stories of freedom that make Maryland the Most Powerful Underground Railroad Storytelling Destination in the World. And that is just the beginning. If you’re open for big memories and an unforgettable vacation, we’re open for you. Roddy Road Covered Bridge Baltimore 8 / VISIT MARYLAND
