Intersection of Main & Francis Streets Downtown Annapolis

welcome TO ANNAPOLIS & ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY! If you’re in the mood to get away to it all, you’ve come to the right place! Whether you’re looking for the adrenaline rush of crossing the finish line first in our Wednesday Night Sailboat Races, the cool serenity of an 8-acre woodland garden, or easy access to Baltimore and Washington, DC, we deliver. A destination of contrasts, our three regions have distinct, appealing personalities.

Maryland’s capital city greets you with open arms and a host of possibilities. A Museum without Walls, Annapolis is a lively, upbeat, contemporary city where four centuries of architecture embrace 21st-century living. Here all roads lead to the water and a nautical heritage intrinsically linked to the Chesapeake Bay. While Annapolis is world-renowned as America’s Sailing Capital, the Annapolis countryside boasts hundreds of miles of Chesapeake Bay shoreline.

Here, the rhythm of life moves with the tides

and the seasons, and maritime villages including Deale, Galesville, Shady Side and Mayo invite you to escape to a simpler time. Nearby, Historic London Town and Gardens presents nature at its finest.

Home to BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport, the BWI-Arundel Mills region is the perfect home base for exploring Washington, DC and Baltimore. Here, you can peek behind the curtain into the world of secret codes at the National Security Agency’s National Cryptologic Museum.

The nearby Arundel Mills Mall is Maryland’s largest outlet and value retail shopping destination. Right next door, Live! Casino & Hotel is one of the largest commercial casinos in the country.

Not sure where to begin? This guide is designed to help you create the experience that’s just right for you!

AN N A POLIS C IT Y U.S. Naval Academy

ABOUT A walk along our brick-lined streets puts you in touch with four centuries of architecture lovingly preserved. Look in any direction and you’ll find something to catch your eye–the Chesapeake Bay, sailing regattas, midshipmen in dress whites, historic landmarks, colonial guides. And that’s just for starters!

Founded as Anne Arundel Town in 1649, Annapolis became the capital of Maryland in 1695 and the nation’s first peacetime capital in 1783. Today, Annapolis boasts more 18th-century brick buildings than any city of comparable size in the country and the oldest State House in continuous legislative use in the nation. It was here that George Washington resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in 1783 and the Continental Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris, officially ending the Revolutionary War.

Want to be where the action is?

Head to City Dock. It’s the heart and soul of Annapolis, a place to see and be seen. After a cruise or sail out of Annapolis Harbor, check out our boutiques and specialty shops. They make it easy to take home a memory of your stay. In historic downtown Annapolis, Maryland Avenue, State Circle, Main and West Streets have earned worldwide reputations as shopping hot spots. How about a handbag from Hobo’s flagship store just off Main Street or a painting lovingly created at one of our nearly

two dozen downtown galleries?

If pottery is your passion, choose from one-of-a-kind pieces crafted at Annapolis Pottery. Looking for big name department stores? Westfield Annapolis Mall, Annapolis Harbour Center, and the Annapolis Towne Centre at Parole offer a host of shopping possibilities. In the dining department, downtown Annapolis offers everything from simple to sublime–from fresh from the Bay seafood to ethnic favorites that span the globe.

DON’T MISS Take a guided tour of the U.S. Naval Academy (121 Blake Road, Annapolis, MD). It will open your eyes to the daily routine of the 4,400-strong Brigade of Midshipmen. When the formal tour is through, be sure to visit the Naval Academy Museum (118 Maryland Avenue, Annapolis, MD), home of the famous Gallery of Ships. If you’re a history lover, don’t miss the Maryland State House and its Old Senate Chamber (100 State Circle, Annapolis, MD).

Want to experience Annapolis like a local? Enjoy homemade ice cream while watching boats strut their stuff at Ego Alley. Tour the last remaining screwpile lighthouse in its original location on the Chesapeake Bay. Enjoy a free summer evening concert at City Dock. Spend an afternoon shopping and dining along Maryland Avenue. Learn about life in colonial Annapolis by touring the home and reconstructed

18th-century pleasure garden of Declaration of Independence signer William Paca (186 Prince George Street, Annapolis, MD). Feast your eyes on the Most Beautiful Doorway in America at the HammondHarwood House (19 Maryland Avenue, Annapolis, MD).

Interested in African American heritage? Check out the Deep Roots, Rising Waters exhibit at the Banneker-Douglass Museum (84 Franklin Street, Annapolis, MD) It documents African American history in Maryland from 1633 to the present day.

No visit to Annapolis is complete without multiple treks to the Maritime Republic of Eastport! In true locals’ fashion, the best way to get to the quirky neighborhood is aboard a water taxi from City Dock. Once there, be sure to visit the Annapolis Maritime Museum (723 Second Street, Annapolis, MD).

Located in the last remaining oyster packing plant in the area, the newly revamped, high-tech, high-touch museum plans to begin offering heritage tours of the Back Creek and beyond aboard the skipjack, Wilma Lee.

WHERE TO EAT There’s no denying it. Great vacations begin with great food!

You name the dining experience; you’ll find it here. From fresh-fromthe-Bay seafood to the choicest

steaks, to the finest international cuisine, Annapolis restaurants will send you home with some serious bragging rights!

Owned and operated by Belgian chef Frederik De Pue, Flamant (17 Annapolis Street, Annapolis, MD) offers choice, fresh food rooted in the classic style of European cuisine. Now in its 36th year, Carrol’s Creek Café (410 Severn Avenue, Annapolis, MD) has gone totally nut-free. Galway Bay Restaurant, Pub and Whiskey Bar (63 Maryland Avenue, Annapolis, MD) snagged Irish Hospitality Global’s 2019 award for Best Irish Whiskey Experience in the United States. With its “all killer, no filler” crab cakes, Boatyard Bar & Grill (400 Fourth Street, Annapolis, MD) is still the best place for watching weekly replays of the Wednesday Night Sailboat Races.

While you’re there, treat yourself to a piece of Smith Island Cake, Maryland’s official dessert.

WHERE TO STAY If you want to be in the heart of the action, Annapolis is the place to stay.

A host of accommodations ranging from bed and breakfasts to historic inns, to modern luxury hotels and limited service properties puts you within walking distance of City Dock and its sailing and cruising delights.

You’ll find a complete listing of possibilities in the lodging section of this Visitors Guide and on our VisitAnnapolis.org website.

A NNAPOLI S LI BRA RY Looking for a new place to hang out?

How about the Annapolis Library!

Slated to open in April 2020, the 32,500 square foot, $24 million library at 1410 West Street is designed with gatherings in mind. It will have two community meeting rooms, a teen space and a children’s area. The largest meeting room will accommodate up to 500 people and can be divided in half for smaller events. There will also be a small conference room and six enclosed collaboration spaces, each containing a table and six chairs.

Replacing the former 20,000 square foot, 50-year-old Annapolis library, the new building represents a renaissance in the library system.

Twenty years ago, individuals used libraries differently. They’d go for story time or to check out a book.

The new Annapolis library invites you to come and stay–and use the space like a community center. Rather than

being a refuge for quiet reflection, it will be a place to come and “be loud” through participation in a host of programs, including concerts.

To serve the needs of the community during the Annapolis library rebuild, the Anne Arundel County Public Library began leasing space for a Discoveries library at Westfield Annapolis Mall in April 2018. Its program attendance regularly surpassed those of the county’s 15 other library branches. Because the location was so successful, the county moved the Discoveries library from a 3,000-square-foot location to a 12,000-square-foot space in the Crate and Barrell wing of the mall in February 2020. So, if your stay in Annapolis includes a visit to Westfield, you can kill two birds with one stone by combining your shopping with a trip to the Discoveries.

GREATER ANNAPOLIS If fresh, local seafood is high on your priority list, head to Cantler’s Riverside Inn (458 Forest Beach Road, Annapolis, MD) along Mill Creek. You and the kids can watch crabs shed their hard shells in outdoor holding tubs and take advantage of the occasion to feast on soft shell crabs. Family-owned by longtime watermen, the restaurant serves up heaping piles of steamed crabs on brown paper-covered tables. Like hanging out in a relaxed setting on the water? The Point Crab House & Grill (700 Mill Creek Road, Arnold, MD) could be just what you’re looking for. Offering both inside and outside dining, the year-round crab house on Mill Creek in the Ferry Point Marina is a locals’ favorite. Owner Bobby Jones has made a name for himself with authentic Chesapeake-inspired recipes (his grandmother’s Maryland-style crab soup is a winner) and his pledge to source ingredients within 50 miles of his restaurant.

for more than 50 years. It’s not unusual to see boaters with their well-behaved dogs on the outdoor decks of Pirates Cove Restaurant (4817 Riverside Drive, Galesville, MD). Pet owners often enjoy a pitcher of beer with their Chesapeake Bay oysters while their pets cool off with some refreshing water. Skipper’s Pier Restaurant and Dock Bar (6158 Drum Point Road, Deale, MD) is a great place for a crab feast that wraps up with homemade desserts—including a variation of the Smith Island cake, Maryland’s official dessert, prepared by pastry chef and restaurant co-owner Jessica Rosage.

BWI-ARUNDEL MILLS REGION Mike’s Crab House North (1402 Colony Road, Pasadena, MD) is a sister restaurant to Mike’s in Riva with the same waterfront appeal and seafood focus. Located on the Delhaven Peninsula between the Magothy and Patapsco Rivers, locally

owned and operated Two Rivers Steak and Fish House (4105 Mountain Road, Pasadena, MD) prides itself on providing quality fresh seafood along with superbly prepared steaks.

In rating the Olive Grove Restaurant (705 North Hammonds Ferry Road, Linthicum Heights, MD), Zagat said, “Zealots drive around the beltway for fantastic crab cakes and a good house salad at this Linthicum roundhouse….” A final star in the crab crown goes to G&M Restaurant & Lounge (804 Hammonds Ferry Road, Linthicum Heights, MD), about five minutes from BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport. Its all-lump Maryland crab, baseball-size crab cakes are shipped all over the world.

The new Ashling Kitchen and Bar (1286 Route 3 South, Suite 3, Crofton, MD) is another great find. Owner Elise Letavish worked for more than a decade in the music industry where she traveled the world and worked with some of the best artists in the country.

During that time, she learned the value of creating community and a sense of home around “a good meal and a stiff drink.” On a quest to do just that, the robust Ashling menu includes a variety of tastefully prepared seafood dishes in a musically inspired atmosphere.

Founded in 1845, the Naval Academy has grown to become a renowned institution of learning and historical relevance that trains some 4,200-plus midshipmen annually to become professional officers in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Aptly located in beautiful historic Annapolis, where the Severn River meets the Chesapeake Bay, the Naval Academy is a welcoming location for the young men and women chosen as midshipmen—and for the more than one million tourists who visit the institution from around the world each year.

THE NAVAL ACADEMY CHAPEL IS WORTH A PEEK, EVEN IF YOU DON’T PLAN TO WORSHIP OR MARRY THERE.

The Naval Academy Chapel, with its iconic copper dome and giant brass doors, is a beloved beacon not only to those affiliated with the Naval Academy, but for all familiar with this integral element of the spectacular Annapolis skyline. Of note: Peter Marshall, pastor and future Chaplain to the US Senate, spoke from the Chapel’s original pulpit on Sunday December 7th, 1941, mere hours before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

THE REMAINS OF A FAMOUS NAVAL HERO ARE INTERRED IN THE NAVAL ACADEMY CHAPEL.

Here’s the back story: After an illustrious naval career, Commodore John Paul Jones, naval leader of the American Revolution, died alone in a Paris apartment in 1792 at the age of 45. He eventually received both proper recognition and a resting place at the Naval Academy, but not until over a century later. In 1905, after Jones’ remains were discovered—almost perfectly preserved in a tightly sealed lead casket—Paris honored him with a parade and religious service. Afterwards, his remains were brought to Annapolis and, in 1913, moved to their current resting spot: the crypt under the Naval Academy Chapel. The crypt’s elaborate Beaux Arts design includes a 21-ton sarcophagus. At the base of the tomb, you’ll find the Continental Navy ships Jones commanded during the American Revolution.

THROUGHOUT THE YARD, YOU’LL GLIMPSE TIMELESS NAVAL ACADEMY TRADITIONS.

There’s nothing quite like seeing 4,000plus midshipmen standing at attention in their uniforms. This happens at noon formation, an impressive display in which all midshipmen gather in front of Bancroft Hall before lunch before filing inside meticulously to the beat of a drum (Monday through Friday, weather permitting, during the Academic year). Much messier is the annual Climb of Herndon Monument.

With the monument slathered in lard, Naval Academy freshmen fight their way to the top to mark the end of the academic year as plebes.

NAVY SPORTING EVENTS ARE SPIRITED, FAMILYFRIENDLY AFFAIRS.

A home Navy football game is like no other college sporting event. Held at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, these games involve the entire midshipmen brigade: from the ‘March On’ in which every midshipman files onto the field just before kickoff, as planes fly overhead, to the cannon blast at every kickoff and Navy score, to the ever-present Navy mascot, Bill the Goat, to the spectacle of midshipmen rushing the field whenever Navy scores, to do as many pushups as there are numbers on the score board, to the singing of the Navy Blue & Gold Song at the finale of the game. It is a one-of-a-kind treasure to be enjoyed with the entire family.

sights to see Maryland State House

SETTLEMENT In 1650, Puritans seeking religious freedom nestled into a spot on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay and called their new town Providence. Settlers soon spread across the Severn River to the land that now makes up Maryland’s capital city.

The small settlement grew and was renamed Anne Arundell in 1694 in honor of Lord Baltimore’s wife.

By the late 1600s, Maryland’s 25,000 inhabitants had spread from Maryland’s then capital, St. Mary’s City, and Governor Francis Nicholson chose the growing town on the Severn as the new provincial capital because of its central location.

Nicholson renamed the new capital Annapolis in honor of Princess Anne, who became Queen of England in 1702.

He directed the city be built according to an elaborate baroque street plan, much like the ones used in great European capitals. The highest town circle revolved around the capitol building. The focal point of the secondhighest circle was an Anglican church. Mixed residential and mercantile areas developed around the waterfront and along the main streets.

The countryside also embraces Herring Bay and Herrington Harbour Marina, a certified Maryland Clean Marina. Herrington Harbour North is home to a Historic Village—a collection of 19th-century southern Maryland buildings relocated to create a rural village on the marina’s grounds.

If you’re into the outdoors, keep the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Lothian on your radar. If you head to the 2,650-acre site, bring your kayak! As the largest block of contiguous preserved land and the largest site of public access on the Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, SERC offers several miles of walking and hiking trails and public access to the water. The nearby Historic London Town and Gardens in Edgewater recounts the story of the lost colonial seaport of London. While you’re there, take time to explore their eight-acre woodland garden. From there, check out the Galesville Heritage Museum and the Hartge Yacht Yard before moving on to the Captain Avery Museum in Shady Side. Here you’ll learn about a successful commercial waterman from years gone by.

BWI-ARUNDEL MILLS REGION Home of BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport, the region is the perfect place to stay if Baltimore and/or Washington, DC are a part of your travel plans. Because the region offers more affordable overnight options than our larger neighbors,

you’ll have more money left over to spend on the things you enjoy If you like to shop, spending the night in the BWI-Arundel Mills region has other advantages as well. It’s just minutes from the largest value retail and entertainment destination in Maryland—Arundel Mills. The shoppertainment complex features more than 200 stores and entertainment options, including designer name brand retailers. Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament and Dave and Buster’s are perfect for family fun. For the 21 and older group, Live! Casino & Hotel is one of the largest commercial casinos in the nation. Open 24/7, it features more than 200 live action table games. The AAA Four-Diamondrated Live! Hotel is home to 310 luxury guest rooms, Live! Spa, and world class dining at the Zagat-rated #1 steakhouse, The Prime Rib. Opened in December 2019, the 75,000-squarefoot, three-story Hall at Live! hosts some of the nation’s best touring acts, comedians, championship boxing, and other show-stopping entertainment.

Home to Fort Meade and the National Security Agency, the area has earned a reputation for being the cybersecurity capital of the nation. After exploring the history of U.S. defense electronics at the National Electronics Museum and tracing centuries of espionage at the National Cryptologic Museum, the nearby Guinness Open Gate Brewery is a perfect place to unwind at the end of your day.

They’re counting on you, and you won’t let them down!

You can’t go wrong with Annapolis and Anne Arundel County. Our central location makes it easy for everyone to attend. Our many activities, attractions, and opportunities for getting out on the water translate into fun for all ages. Our wide selection of accommodations—from full-service hotels to bed and breakfasts—ensures you’ll find the right fit for everyone.

Contact our experienced sales team, and we’ll help you get the ball rolling. From logistical support, to business contacts, to group outing recommendations, we’ll share a host of suggestions for building a stellar event. Here, your group can enjoy a visit that’s as laid back or on-the-go as you want it to be. You can opt for a day of hands-on sailing, kayaking, and paddle boarding, or relax the afternoon away at a worldclass spa. You and your friends can hike and bike for miles or spend hours communing with nature in an 18th-century pleasure garden.

You can shop ‘til you drop at our one-of-a-kind boutiques or prop your feet up on a daylong cruise.

Better yet, how about a taste of all the above! However busy the days might be, make sure you set aside plenty of time to dine by the water or indulge in our international cuisine.

Don’t be surprised if your friends and co-workers have heard about Annapolis and Anne Arundel County.

Chances are our marketing and promotional efforts have already piqued their interest, and your event gives them the opportunity to explore the destination’s nooks and crannies on their own. If you like, we’ll provide you with user-friendly materials—like this visitors guide— to send them in advance, so they can map out a custom getaway.

So, what are you waiting for? You can begin planning the perfect wedding, birthday celebration, reunion, retirement party, or corporate outing today. Our goal is to help make you a hero. But, be careful, if you do too good a job, this could become a permanent position!
