You’re welcome to visit and explore Maryland’s Great Chesapeake Bay Loop, which surrounds the largest estuary in the United States. Sail the Bay’s sparkling waters and breathe in the slightly salty air. Taste the flavors of its fresh seafood and local produce from farms along the shore, and feel the freedom of escaping land as you get out on the water. Enjoy quaint waterfront towns, taking time to talk to the locals — some of whom have lingering accents from ancestors who came to the area more than 300 years ago. When it comes to places to stay along the way, you’ll find plenty of options. Whether you’re looking for a quiet, tucked-away escape at a cozy bed and breakfast, a relaxing few nights at a luxury hotel, a rustic camping or cabin experience, or a culturally enriching holiday at a historical inn, the Great Chesapeake Bay Loop is the perfect destination. Here are some trip ideas to get the most memories per mile on your Chesapeake Bay getaway.
