welcome

elcome to our very special edition of Weekends on the Water! Here you’ll find six editorfavorite Chesapeake destinations, from Chesapeake City in the north to Portsmouth in the south. These are locations we just know you’ll want to explore.

But wait. We know that planning a weekend in a busy new place can be a bit overwhelming.

Where will we stay? Can we trailer in our boat? Will there be enough to do? Where are the best places to eat? We understand. We’ve been there too. That’s why we’ve worked hard to take the guess-work and worry out of the process. We take you step by step through your trip. In fact, we’ve got you covered, whether you are cruising in on your own vessel, trailering your boat in, or toting your kayaks and SUPs on top of the car. Shoot, we even tell you where to rent or charter a boat once you arrive.

Jody Argo Schroath CBM Cruising Editor Don’t worry, we’re not going to drown you in information. We’ve picked out some of our favorite places to highlight and given you information on how to find more. Our whole goal with this publication is to make you feel at home exploring the Bay, finding new places to enjoy or learning to enjoy old favorites in a new way. It’s what we at Chesapeake Bay Magazine do, after all, and have been doing for nearly half a century. So grab your hat, the sunscreen and the kids, and let’s explore the Chesapeake!

First let’s look at how each chapter is organized, so you can find just what you want without fuss. Really, you’re going to love this!

Why you’ll want to go

What to do when you get here

This is a brief overview of each destination, highlighting the things that make it a great place to visit.

Yes, this section is dedicated to making sure you see the sights and have a good relaxing time doing it. And that means all of you, from Uncle Joe to baby Amy. Everything here is within an easy walk of marinas, hotels, inns and restaurants. That’s the point, do a little, rest a little, eat a little.

Have fun.

What you can expect to find This is where we give you the lay of the land. In the case of Annapolis, for example, we explain how it’s divided by two creeks, Spa and Back creek, and into two sections, Eastport and old town Annapolis. We explain both its coastal layout and its streets, so you won’t be dazed and confused when you arrive.

How to get there Now we get to the nitty-gritty of finding your way in, first for those arriving by boat. Then for those trailering in, we give you the best launch sites and suggestions for getting around on your boat. For those with paddle-craft, we give you launch sites and places to your craft to good use. Finally, we give you some suggestions for finding a rental or charter, fishing or recreation.

Where to stay This is where we talk about a few of the marinas you’ll find available and where they are located. If you are staying ashore, we give you some of our favorite hotels and inns.

You’ll love the choices! We’ve concentrated on places right downtown within an easy walk of the water and all the places to go we’re going to tell you about next.

W E E K E N D S O N T H E WAT E R

Where to eat I’ll bet you’ve already figured this one out. Right, here are some of our favorite restaurants, all within walking distance of everything else. But you know that already.

Enough said.

Side Trips As a bonus, we’ve thrown in a few places to visit nearby if you have a bit of extra time. All of these can be visited by boat or enjoyed by boat once you get there.

Maps With each of our six destinations, we’ve given you a detailed locator map to help you find all of the places we mention.

That’s it. We’ve had a lot of fun putting this together, and now it’s your turn. Start planning your Weekends on the Water! If we can help or answer a question, give us a call or send us an email. We love showing off.

CHESAPEAKE CITY Enjoy a great weekend on the straight and narrow.

WHY YOU’LL WANT TO GO

B

ite-sized and charming, Chesapeake City sits like a slightly off-center maraschino cherry atop the Chesapeake Bay near the western end of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. For the thousands of boaters who yearly transit that 14-mile-long waterway connecting the Chesapeake with Delaware Bay, this is either the last or the first Maryland town they see. It is also the first or last good port along the way, which makes it a popular stopover. For the rest of us, it’s an accessible weekend treat, a romantic getaway for couples and a family friendly destination for everyone else. As a bonus, there is plenty of good food.

Chesapeake City is attractive as a weekend getaway for both those who make the trip on their own boats and those who like to trailer in and then explore the local waters. Paddle-sport enthusiasts also find plenty of good water and launch sites nearby, though non-powered vessels are not permitted along the C&D Canal.

But we’ll get to all of that later on. First, let’s talk about how Chesapeake City is laid out.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO FIND The lion’s share of Chesapeake City lies on the south side of the C&D Canal, just east of the Chesapeake City Bridge. It is the bridge that dominates the town’s landscape, visible from nearly every part of the city, either soaring above or peeking out between the town’s dozens of historic buildings, park, and boat basin. The town is so historic, in fact, that its entire two street-by-four street downtown is on the National Register of Historic Places. This makes the town eminently walkable. Even a hike from the town dock, around the city boat basin, to the C&D Canal Museum is an easy one.

In town, you’ll find a nice little park, a pink ice cream shop, restaurants, shops, and inns. For boaters, there is the boat basin for anchoring, a town dock, and a good marina at Chesapeake Inn. We’ll get to all that too in a little bit.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the canal you’ll find Chesapeake City North, which is even tinier than Chesapeake City South. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth a visit. For it is there, directly on the canal, that you’ll find Schaefer’s Canal House, which features docks for a night or a few hours, fuel, an outdoor café, and an indoor restaurant. Next to Schaefer’s you’ll spot the Maryland Pilot station, where Chesapeake Bay-bound ships drop off their Delaware pilot and pick up their Maryland pilot. Those bound for Delaware Bay do the opposite.

CHESAPEAKE CITY

HOW TO GET THERE If you are arriving by boat The approach to Chesapeake City from the Bay is straightforward: Follow the main channel up to the Elk River. You’ll recognize the Elk by the handsome white lighthouse on Turkey Point. Turn up the Elk and, after you’ve passed the Bohemia River, you’ll round Town Point Neck and see the entrance marks to Back Creek and the C&D Canal. At once, you’ll see the soaring Chesapeake City Bridge. And immediately after that, you’ll find Schaefer’s Canal House directly on the canal to port and the entrance to Chesapeake City and its boat basin to starboard.

If you are trailering in Trailer boaters have several choices for launching. First, there is a single boat ramp with parking at the far end of the Chesapeake City boat basin, next to the C&D Canal Museum. On the north side of the canal, you’ll find four lovely paved ramps with tie-up docks and a large parking area at Elk Neck State Park on the north side of the canal. The ramps are open 24 hours a day. It can get pretty crowded on the weekends, though. Another option is to put in on the nearby Bohemia River, where there is a ramp at Bohemia Vista Marina (launch fee $25) and another upriver on Scotchmans Creek at Richmond’s Marina.

If you are bringing your kayak, canoe or SUP As we mentioned earlier, paddling around Chesapeake City anywhere but inside the boat basin is not an option—you must have a boat with an engine to use the C&D Canal. However, you are in luck because there are several very nice places nearby for exploration by small craft.

We suggest making the short trip down to the beautiful Bohemia River. We especially recommend the four-mile trip up lovely Great Bohemia Creek. The creek begins just upriver of the Route 213 Bridge. There are several marinas, one with a boat ramp (Richmond’s) and a good sandwich shop nearby at the entrance to Scotchmans Creek—also good for paddling. After a good day’s paddle, you can return to Chesapeake City for dinner and a good night’s sleep in one of the town’s several bed and breakfasts or at the Chesapeake Inn.

WHERE TO STAY Chesapeake City Boat Basin If you’d like to anchor out, simply turn off the canal into the city boat basin after the Chesapeake City Bridge, sound out a spot and then drop the hook. It’s as easy as that. Keep an eye on the depth sounder, however. There is shoaling on the starboard side of the entrance. Leave the red buoy well to starboard. You should find at least five feet on the way in and eight to nine feet inside. You are welcome to stay for up to 72 hours. For the latest soundings for the basin as well as other boating information, including an explanation of the tide/current cycle in the canal, go to chesapeakecity-md.gov/boaters/.

Chesapeake City Town Docks Another good choice—though you’ll need to keep a close eye on the depth sounder—is to tie-up along the town’s free-floating docks, which you’ll find

immediately to starboard as you enter the basin. Dockage is free, but there is a charge for power. The depth at the first dock is reportedly six feet MLW, though some boaters find considerably less. The second dock has a reported four feet MLW, though again this depends on recent shoaling. The south end of the first dock is reserved for tour boats. You’ll see the signs. Call dockmaster Bill Miner, 410-656-1017, for information on depths. There is a 24-hour limit on dockage, which is available on a first-come first served basis. Pay for power at the town hall or use their drop box.

Chesapeake Inn and Marina Turn off the canal into the town boat basin (see directions above) and you will immediately see the sprawling Chesapeake Inn and Marina (chesapeakeinn. com; 410-885-2040), with its colorful umbrellas, bright party lights and welcoming pretend palm trees, directly ahead. If you are planning to be there on a summer weekend, call ahead to be sure you will have a slip. The docks are easy to get to and there will be someone there to lend a hand. Just remember to adjust your approach to the current.

Schaefer’s Canal House This is the best option for larger and deeper-draft vessels. Keep in mind that Schaefer’s (schaeferscanalhouse.com; 410-885-7200) is located directly on the canal, the current can be especially swift, making it particularly important to make your approach against the current. Schaefer’s has a very long bulkhead, and there are slips on the west side at the bridge. This is also the only place in Chesapeake City to buy fuel. Call ahead if you are planning a summer weekend stay.

Chesapeake City’s Inns If you are trailering in, bringing your kayak, or just want a relaxing evening ashore, you’ll want to try one of Chesapeake City’s lovely inns, like the Inn at the Canal (innatthecanal.com; 410-885-5995) on Bohemia Avenue or Ship Watch Inn (shipwatchinn.com; 410-885-5300) on 1st Street. The Ship Watch is directly on the canal with all the rooms facing the water, as does its hot tub! The Blue Max Inn (bluemaxinn.com; 410-885-2781), also on Bohemia Avenue, has four porches, fireplaces and parking for trailer boaters in its lot near the boat ramp. The Bayard House at the foot of Bohemia Avenue also has its own cottages for guests next door, right on the canal (bayardhouse.com/cottage-rentals; 410-885-5040).

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GET THERE Cruise the C&D Canal Of course, while you are here, you’ll want to take a trip along the C&D Canal. If you’ve got your own powered boat, you can do it yourself. The trip to the Delaware River is only 14 miles long and you can turn back at any time. We’re not

saying there’s a lot to see along the way—the shoreline is entirely rip-rapped so there’s also no place to stop, and anchoring is out of the question. But it’s cool enough cruising one of the world’s most important waterways. Remember to check the current. If you have a boat with a small engine, you’ll find the going easier if you ride the eastbound current toward Delaware and then catch the beginning of the westbound current back to Chesapeake City. Remember to keep a sharp lookout for other boat traffic. Most large ships transit the canal at night or very early in the morning.

If you don’t have a boat with an engine—and even if you do—you’ll want to take one of the cruises that leaves from the town docks. Chesapeake City Water Tours (chesapeakecitywatertours.com; 443-566-3386) offers ferry service across the canal, as well as one-hour narrated tours on Saturday and Sundays and sunset and happy hour cruises. MV Bay Breeze (mvbaybreeze.com; 410-8855500) offers Saturday and Sunday boat tours and sunset and specialty cruises.

Visit the Canal Museum The second canal-related thing you’ll want to do is to visit the C&D Canal Museum (chesapeakecity.com/cd-canal-museum; 410-885-5621) operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which oversees the canal. You’ll find it at the far end of the boat basin.

When the canal was constructed in the 19th century, it contained a series of locks, and boats were pulled through the canal by mules. Over the years, the canal has been deepened and widened, and sea level is now maintained throughout, eliminating the need for locks. At the museum, you’ll find one of the old lock lift-pumps preserved. You’ll also learn a lot about the canal’s colorful history.

SIDE TRIPS Delaware City

u Schaefer’s Crab Cake.

Walk the C&D Canal Want to get a different perspective on the canal? Take a hike or bike ride along the Ben Cardin Recreational Trail. The 17-mile trail, which connects with the Mike Castle Trail in Delaware, shadows the canal all the way to Delaware City. It begins at the foot of Lock Street, next to the Chesapeake City North ferry stop. If you are staying in Chesapeake City, use the ferry to get to the other side.

Wander through Chesapeake City As we mentioned earlier, Chesapeake City is just about small enough to fit into a tea cup. This means you will be able to explore its shops and byways without getting exhausted. Even so, we know you’ll want to stop somewhere along the line at the bright pink waterfront building to get a double-decker ice cream cone with sprinkles at Canal Creamery.

You’ll enjoy the town’s interesting mix of gift shops, galleries, antiques shops, jewelers, and outdoor gear. And pretty soon, that ice cream will wear off and you’ll want to sit down to a good meal.

If you have a bit of extra time, there are good options for expanding your cruise. We recommend a trip up the canal to Delaware City, which lost its place as a canal town when the C&D lost its locks. But remnants of the old canal remain, and the town has lost none of its charm. Most boats will need to use the north entrance of the Delaware City Branch Channel off the Delaware River. Just inside, you’ll find Delaware City Marine, which has slips and fuel. The channel connects to the C&D Canal, but a six-foot closed bridge south of the city allows for only low profile boats, though the depth in the channel is about five feet.

WHERE TO EAT Lunch There are plenty of places to choose from, but if the weather is good, we recommend that you sit outside either on the Deck at Chesapeake Inn Restaurant & Marina on the boat basin or dinghy (or take the ferry) to Schaefer’s Lighthouse Bar & Deck. It’s almost like sitting in a canal-side café in France, but with more music and better beer. If the weather is not promising, eat inside at either place or get cozy at Tap Room Crab House on Bohemia Avenue.

Dinner Is it dinner time already? We suggest you try the historic Bayard House (bayardhouse.com; 410-885-5040) on the canal at 11 Bohemia Avenue. Their Maryland Crab Soup is practically world renowned. We also love their crab cakes with a carrot and fennel salad. Sit upstairs next to the window, and you’ll have a lovely view of the canal below. Enjoy a cocktail before dinner or coffee and a liqueur afterwards at the Bayard’s Hole in the Wall Bar. If you are in the mood for an excellent steak, try one of Chesapeake City’s newest restaurants, Prime 225 (prime225.com; 410-885-7009) on Bohemia Avenue. It’s rapidly gaining the reputation for some of the tastiest and most interesting food around. Try the Roasted Oysters Carolina Style.

ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

Closer to home, the Bohemia River offers lovely anchorages (Veazey Cove and off Manor Creek), some nice marinas (like Bohemia Bay Yacht Harbor and Long Point Marina). For small boats, especially, including paddle craft, the river’s quiet tributaries, like Great Bohemia Creek, are bewitching.

Elk Neck State Park We’ve already mentioned this park several times—for its launch ramp and its campground—but its miles of trails and beautifully situated lighthouse are well worth a trip just for themselves. There is also a nice beach area on the north side, facing the Northeast River.

ANNAPOLIS Relive history on the water.

WHY YOU’LL WANT TO GO

N

o matter what the size or shape of your boat, you’ll discover that Annapolis is the practically perfect weekend destination for you. Where else can you find such a felicitous combination of history, charm, good food, happy music, pirate ships and ice cream? In this section, we’ll explain how to negotiate busy Annapolis Harbor without hassle to find your slip with ease and enjoy a weekend to remember.

For most people anywhere near the Chesapeake Bay, a visit to Annapolis is a given. All those boats! All those restaurants! All those shops! All that history! All that ice cream! What’s not to love? Yet many boaters leave their vessels at home, opting instead to pile the family and Fido into the old reliable land-yacht and trundle off to wrestle the weekend traffic so they can hunt for a good parking space before trooping into the center city to start the fun. Then a few hours later, it’s time to head back home.

Why? Simply because the thought of navigating the busy waters of Annapolis harbor fills them with fear and confusion. Where should they go?

Where should they tie up? Should they take a mooring ball or a marina slip?

Which marina? Which mooring ball? What if they’d rather spend the night ashore? Well, you can relax now, because we have the answers.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO FIND

JOHN BILDAHL

Even if you’ve made the road trip to Annapolis a dozen times before, you’ll want to understand how the city is laid out, whether you are arriving by water or towing your boat behind you.

The Eastport part of the city lies snugged between Back Creek and Spa Creek, just inside the mouth of the Severn River. West Annapolis stretches farther up the Severn. Historic downtown Annapolis and the Naval Academy lie on the north side of Spa Creek. The city’s largest and and some of its fanciest marinas, as well most of its service and repair yards, lie along both sides of Back Creek. All of this is connected by water taxis or can be accessed with your dinghy, which you can tie up an any number of dinghy landings throughout the two creeks.

ANNA POLIS

HOW TO GET THERE If you arrive by boat Annapolis Harbor lies just south of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. As you make the turn off the Bay and look toward the city, you should be able to make out the dome of the state capitol and, to its right, the dome of the Naval Academy Chapel, but not much else—no skyscrapers here. You’ll want to head into the harbor and aim for the domes. If you are coming from the south, be sure to honor the Tolly Point Shoal buoy (green “1AH”). If you are coming from the north, do the same for the Greenbury Point Shoal (red “4”). Other than that, just watch out for crab pots and cross-traffic. Oh yes and sailboat races—it’s not polite to power through the fleet. Anyway, you’ll be fine.

Now it’s time to choose a creek.

Back Creek The entrance to Back Creek is marked by two green markers, which absolutely must be obeyed, and a useful red. Once you’re well into the Annapolis Harbor, head for the red roof of Horn Harbor Marina until the markers sort themselves out. You’ll be entering between Annapolis Sailing School to port and Horn Point and the self-styled Maritime Republic of Eastport to starboard.

Once inside, you’ll find four of city’s largest marinas, fuel, repairs and the Annapolis Maritime Museum. On the west side, you can get a quiet slip at a resort-style marina like Port Annapolis Marina or Annapolis Landing; arrange for any conceivable kind of work for your boat at Bert Jabin’s Yacht Yard; or drop the anchor or pick up a city mooring ball. On the Eastport side, you can choose either a resort marina (Mears), a working marina (Eastport Yacht Center) or scenic Horn Point Harbor Marina.

Spa Creek The entrance to Spa Creek is straight forward, except for the coming and going of a few tour boats, water taxis, and dozens of recreational boats of every possible description. It’s exciting and, if you take it slow, no problem at all.

If you head generally for the Naval Academy Bridge over the Severn River until you’ve cleared Horn Point Light “HP”, you can then turn to port, entering Spa Creek with the Naval Academy bulkhead to starboard and Eastport Yacht Club, Severn Sailing Association, and the neighborhood of Eastport on your port side.

Don’t even think about cutting inside the “HP” marker unless you are in a kayak or on a paddleboard.

On the Eastport side, before the Spa Creek Bridge, you’ll find several marinas, most importantly Annapolis City Marina, which has fuel. Beginning in September 2019 you will find a new array of transient slips at South Annapolis Yacht Center on the upstream side of the bridge.

On the downtown side, you’ll pass a long line of city mooring balls, Annapolis Yacht Basin Marina (since 1937), and the grand Annapolis Yacht Club.

Here too you’ll find the city’s famous “Ego Alley,” once dockage for local watermen, but now a place to see and be seen. Think of cruising through the local drive-in with your cherry 1965 Chevy for the benefit of the admiring crowds and you’ll have just the right idea. But you can also park your boat here by the hour or overnight. It’s tight and it’s not cheap, but everyone should probably do it at least once. You’ll feel as if you are now one of the tourist attractions, and you’ll

be in the middle of everything, a few steps away from Main Street and the Naval Academy. Annapolis City Dock operates both the Ego Alley slips and all of the city’s mooring balls.

There are a few more city mooring balls on the far side of the bridge, as well as a few places to drop the anchor farther up Spa Creek. To get ashore, call a water taxi or use one of the city’s many dinghy docks.

If you are trailering in Arriving by car with a trailer in tow? Put in at Annapolis’s Truxton Park near the headwaters of Spa Creek and you won’t go wrong. The ramps are paved and there are good launch docks. ($10 round trip via honor box or AnnapolisParking. com.) Now head out Spa Creek, and you’ll pass through some of the city’s most pleasant neighborhoods along the way.

If you plan to leave the boat at a marina, you’ll want to scan the Marina section under Where to Stay for some suggestions. If you’re not planning to stay on the boat, look through the Hotel and Bed & Breakfast section as well.

If you are bringing your paddle-craft This is a paddler’s paradise, with dinghy docks at the end of nearly every street and parks, such as Truxtun on Spa Creek, where you can put in and easily leave your car.

There is great paddling from the top of Spa Creek to the bottom, with plenty of places to stop on both sides and visit, eat, and shop. Then head out of Spa Creek into the harbor and hug the Eastport Shore around Horn Point to enter Back Creek. Use a dinghy dock to visit the maritime museum and try out a few restaurants.

Kayak and paddle board rentals are offered by Annapolis Canoe & Kayak-410-263-2303; Kayak Annapolis, 443-949-0773; and Capital SUP, 410-9199402.

WHERE TO STAY We’re not crazy enough to try to list all of the possibilities for slips and lodging in Annapolis. Instead, we’re going to give you just a few of our favorites. There are plenty more good ones around.

MARINAS—BACK CREEK Annapolis Landing Marina In addition to slips, a pool, lovely landscaping and all the usual amenities, Annapolis Landing boasts the creek’s only fuel dock. Access is easy with a long T-head for gas and diesel. The marina is on the south side of Back Creek, just beyond Annapolis Sailing School and Port Williams Marina.

Mears Annapolis Marina Mears Marina is located on the Eastport side of Back Creek, which makes it an easy walk to restaurants, the maritime museum and downtown Annapolis. Like Annapolis Landing and Port Annapolis across the creek, Mears is lovely to look at and easy to enjoy. In addition to the usual amenities, it offers good tennis courts. (mearsannapolis.com; 410-268-8282)

Horn Point Harbor Marina Without a doubt, Horn Point Harbor has the best view of all the Back Creek marinas since it overlooks the Bay from its position at the mouth of the creek.

That location, however, also makes it more susceptible to winds and chop, depending on the direction, though its breakwater takes care of most of the rough water. Like Mears, Horn Point Harbor is an easy walk to Eastport’s restaurants and points of interest. (hornpointharbor.com; 410-263-0550)

SPA CREEK Annapolis City Marina This is one of two marinas with fuel docks on Spa Creek. Slips are a little tight, but the location is terrific. Eastport restaurants, including Carrol’s Creek and the world-famous Boatyard Bar & Grill (voted best crab cake in the area) are only a few steps away. Downtown Annapolis is just across the Spa Creek Bridge. (annapoliscitymarina.com; 410-268-0660)

Annapolis Yacht Basin This is the other marina on Spa Creek with a fuel dock. This is also the marina where you’ll find the mega-yachts in port at any time. But there is room for boats of all sizes. The location is lovely, on the downtown side, next to the Annapolis Yacht Club. (yachtbasin.com; 410-263-3544)

Annapolis City Dock Depths are good, the fairway (Ego Alley) is narrow, but the location for visiting historic downtown Annapolis couldn’t be better. Annapolis City Dock also operates the city mooring fields, located in front of City Dock, just beyond the Spa Creek Bridge, further up Spa Creek and on Back Creek between Port Annapolis and Bert Jabin’s. Prices on Ego Alley are slightly better during non-weekend, non-holiday periods. (annapolis.gov/164/Harbormaster; 410-263-7973)

HOTELS AND BED & BREAKFASTS Here are just a few of our favorites for both downtown and Eastport.

Annapolis Waterfront Hotel Annapolis Waterfront is the only hotel and the only restaurant (Pusser’s Caribbean Grill) directly on Ego Alley, which makes it ideal for sightseeing trips and for watching the passing scene while sipping a refreshing Painkiller rum drink. Not surprisingly, the hotel comes alive during the fall boat shows. (annapoliswaterfront.com; 410-888-773-0786)

Head east out of Annapolis Harbor and then turn north into lovely Whitehall Bay. Explore Whitehall and Rideout creeks and then return to the bay and wind carefully through the channel markers into Mill Creek. There you will find perennially popular Cantler’s Crab House, where you can dock and dine on a dozen or so of the restaurant’s fresh crabs. Finish the day at anchor in one of the creeks or chase the summer breezes out in the bay.

Gibson’s Lodgings Gibson’s is a 21-room, completely charming townhouse hotel located between the Naval Academy and City dock. It is actually made up of three 17th and 18th century homes and features a central courtyard. (gibsonslodgings.com; 410-268-5555)

HOW TO GET AROUND Water Taxi You have several options for getting around Annapolis, from Back Creek marinas to Eastport restaurants and City Dock shops and sites. One of the easiest is to make use of the Annapolis Water Taxi service ($3-$8 one way depending on destination). If you are anchored or on a mooring ball, simply call them on channel 68 or give them a call at 410-263-0033.

Dinghy Docks In some distant past, the city planners had the foresight to put dinghy landings at the end of many of the streets ending on both Spa and Back creeks—about 20 in all. Unfortunately, a number of these have fallen into disrepair, but happily a good number survive to provide a handy place to park. So, if you are anchored, on a mooring ball, at a marina, or have a trailer boat 12 feet or less, you can make use of this unique Annapolis feature. The size restriction for Ego Alley’s dinghy landing is 17 feet.

WHAT TO DO IN THE MARITIME REPUBLIC OF EASTPORT Several decades ago—a drop in the bucket Annapolis-history-wise—the Spa Creek Bridge was closed for a while. This effectively separated Eastport from the old downtown, so Eastporters decided to form their own republic, complete with flag and coat of arms, which, among other things, featured a Chesapeake Bay Retriever rampant with a tennis ball. The bridge re-opened, but the spirit of revelry and revolution continued, with a tug of war battle against Annapolis proper and a 0.5-K charity race across the bridge held annually. Originally a farming community and a waterman’s settlement, Eastport retains its own spirit. With that in mind, here is a short tour that we feel will give you the spirit of the place. Don’t worry, that spirit includes plenty of spirits, lots of food, and a bit of history.

ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

Severn River Come out of Back or Spa creeks and turn up river to discover the lovely Severn River. Above the Academy Bridge and I-95 bridges you’ll find a dozen creeks and salt ponds to explore. There is good, deep water all the way up to Indian Landing, about 10 miles upstream. Explore Little Round Bay and St. Helena Island.

You’ll find good anchorages there in Hopkins and Maynadier creeks or a little bit farther in Plum and Valentine creeks. On Clements Creek, you’ll find Navy mooring balls used by Academy vessels during heavy storms.

Surrounded by bluffs and trees, you’ll see why.

If you are here on a Wednesday through Sunday, we suggest you start the morning with coffee and homemade pastries at Bakers & Co. on Chesapeake Avenue (they have scrumptious soups too) or on any day of the week at Leeward Market Café on Second Street.

Now that you’re ready to face the day, spend some time wandering up and down the streets of Eastport, which are chock-a-block with charming and sometimes eccentric homes as well bushels of flowers and shrubs. When you’ve worked your way back to Second Street, stop for a visit at the remarkable Annapolis Maritime Museum (amaritime.org; 410-295-0104), located in Eastport’s last oyster house. If you dawdle until it’s time for lunch, we suggest you head a few blocks up Chester Street to Davis Pub, the peninsula’s only dive (and a CBM staff favorite). There you can sit outside with your dog and enjoy this quintessential neighborhood pub. Order a crab pretzel and a cold craft beer.

Alternatively, just behind the museum you’ll find Wild Country Seafood, operated by Eastport’s last watermen. They rise early to work their pots then bring back their catch to sell. Crack a dozen crabs at an outdoor table as you watch Back Creek lap up against the tiny museum beach. Heaven!

After lunch, grab a water taxi back to your boat or lodging or simply find a bench at the end of nearly any street in Eastport and sit and enjoy the water.

When you are ready for a special meal out, walk over to Severn Avenue, where you’ll find the finest hunk of meat in town at Lewnes Steak House, or make it a seafood excursion at O’Leary’s Restaurant, or catch an Uber over to Sam’s on the Waterfront at Chesapeake Harbor for an award-winning meal. We recommend getting reservations for these popular outings. On Wednesday summer nights, walk another block or two up Severn to Carrol’s Creek Restaurant and watch the races finish at the foot of Spa Creek Bridge. For lunch, dinner or Sunday brunch, be sure to visit the local sailor and angler gathering place voted the area’s best crab cake, best raw bar, and most family friendly—the Boatyard Bar & Grill. That’s where Jimmy Buffet goes when he’s in town. It’s on Severn Avenue too.

There is so much to do in downtown Annapolis, it will be hard to choose. So, instead of a simple list of things to do and places to eat, here too we’ve put together a proposed itinerary for downtown that includes shopping, historic sites, and enough food and ice cream to keep you going. Oh, and don’t forget to pack your favorite walking shoes or flip-flops. You’re going to thank us later.

After breakfast at someplace like the remarkable Iron Rooster, walk up Main Street to Church Circle, just to get a feel of things. Meander in and out of the shops. Try on some hats at Hats in the Belfry or sunglasses at Shades of the Bay. Pick out a souvenir Annapolis hoody for Uncle Bob back home. When you reach Church Circle, admire the lovely and historic St. Anne’s Parish and its graveyard before turning left to explore West Street’s shops, galleries and restaurants. West Street is where you’ll find some of the city’s hottest venues, from the Ram’s Head Stage and Tavern to 49 West Coffee and Wine Bar. On West Street, you also find the Annapolis Visitor Center (visitannapolis.org; 410-280-0445), where many of the city tours begin and you can pick up more brochures than you can possibly juggle.

Now turn around and head over to State Circle for a tour of the hyper-historic ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

Classic.

State Capital building, which the very place where George Washington gave his Farewell Address when Annapolis was briefly the nation’s capital. On the circle, you’ll also find more restaurants and and shops. You’ll want to stop here at Paws Pet Boutique to pick up that pink beach buggy collar Fido has been been begging for. You’ll find yet more cool shops and restaurants down Maryland Avenue. Browse through Old Fox Books and enjoy a pint at Galway Bay Irish Pub before gathering up the final burst of energy necessary to wend your way back to the water through the town’s maze of narrow brick streets. Don’t forget to admire the city’s world-class collection of 18th century architecture as you go.

Watch your step, though, the 18th century wasn’t famous for smooth pavement.

Now treat yourself to lunch at the new Market House or historic Middleton Tavern or do “breakfast all day” at the Iron Rooster. Or Sofi’s Crepes. Or Mission Barbeque. Or Pip’s Dock Street Dogs—the best cheesesteak south of Philly… so many choices!

Feeling revived? Then this is the time to stroll over to the U.S. Naval Academy visitors entrance (usna.edu/ visit) and take in its fine museum and exquisite ship’s models. On your way to the visitor’s entrance, be sure to pop into the award-winning Annapolis Marine Art Gallery (annapolismarineart.com) on the corner of Dock and Craig streets, which provides collectible art and gifts including prints and originals by John Barber, Patrick O’Brien, Willard Bond, John Stobart, Paul Landry, John Ruseau and other notable artists.

You’ll have just enough time for a quick refresher at one of Annapolis’s great ice cream shops. Our CBM Ice Cream editor particularly recommends the Annapolis Ice Cream Company before you set sail on a sunset cruise aboard one of the two beautiful schooner Woodwinds (schoonerwoodwind.com; 410-263-7837) from city Dock at Pusser’s Grill. (Storm Bros Ice Cream Factory on Dock Street is the other excellent choice.) Finish the evening with an elegant dinner at Harry Browne’s on State Circle or local seafood bouillabaisse at Café Normandie. After dinner, take a stroll up to the Drummer’s Lot Pub in the historic Maryland Inn for a nightcap before tucking in for a good night’s sleep. You’ve earned it!

The next morning, head back up Main Street for breakfast and the traditional Pledge of Allegiance at kitsch-rich Chick and Ruth’s Delly or go further up Main Street and farther back in time for breakfast at the elegant and delicious Treaty of Paris Restaurant.

Now take a final stroll through town and enjoy a coffee at City Dock Coffee before climbing aboard, or loading up the trailer, and heading back to your home port. Whew. Sure you’re exhausted, but you’ll have had a weekend on the water very well spent.

ST. MICHAELS The Bay’s Lucky Charm

WHY YOU’LL WANT TO GO

T

he short answer is: Why wouldn’t you? At least that’s the answer you’d get from two-and-a-half out of every three boaters in the middle and upper Bay. In fact, on any given weekend in summer, you are quite likely to find at least one and a half of those boaters wandering down Talbot Street, shopping, enjoying an ice cream at Justine’s, learning about the Chesapeake at the extraordinary Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum or lunching on local Maryland crabs. Of all the wonderful weekend destinations you’ll find here in this publication, you won’t find a more popular one than little St. Michaels. Walk down the dock of any Western Shore marina north of Solomons on a Saturday morning and ask whoever you see where they’re headed this weekend and the answer is likely to be St. Michaels. So read on, and you’ll see why.

MARK SANDLIN PHOTOS

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO FIND St. Michaels, with a population less than 2,000, lies tucked inside Eastern Bay on a small harbor on the upper reaches of the lovely Miles River on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Its peninsula, which culminates in Tilghman Island, is remarkably similar in appearance to its northern neighbor, Kent Island. And both bear an uncanny, and, we may say, entirely appropriate, resemblance to a pair of crab claws. Go ahead, take a minute to pull out a map of the Chesapeake and you’ll see what we mean. Right? Well, St. Michaels is located on the top of the southern claw at about the second knuckle. Don’t worry, we’ll get a bit more specific in the How to Get There section. First, let’s look at how St. Michaels is laid out.

Early in the English colonization of America, which is to say the 17th century, St. Michaels harbor was chosen as a shipping point for area tobacco plantations.

After the Church of England parish of St. Michaels was established in 1677, a settlement sprang up and pretty soon the new town was in business. Shipbuilding soon became a profitable mainstay, accounting for many of the fast schooners— the kind eventually known as Baltimore clippers—that plied the seas and fine homes that continue to be the pride of St. Michaels as well as other Eastern Shore towns such as Oxford and Cambridge on the nearby Choptank River. When the shipbuilding industry faltered, St. Michaels became a waterman’s town, surviving well into the 20th century on the Bay’s bounty of oysters and crabs.

Now, St. Michaels attracts thousands of visitors every year, by boat and by car, to visit the accumulated charm of all that colorful past. Because the small town offers a big town’s variety of shops, restaurants, beds & breakfasts, an elegant resort, and one of the two best maritime museums on the Chesapeake (the other one is in Newport News). It also offers three fine marinas for easy access from the water. Because it is a small town, St. Michaels is also compact

and easy to get around on foot or bicycle. Most of the shops and many of the restaurants are found along Talbot Street, its main thoroughfare, which is a couple of short blocks from the harbor.

Here is a quick rundown of the harbor. The elegant Inn at Perry Cabin by Belmond, lies on the north end, followed by the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and its docks, then the public dinghy dock and the Crab Claw Restaurant. Higgins Yacht Yard lies on the western side, followed by St. Michaels Marina. Just beyond, the town dock and tour boat terminal are located on one side of little Church Cove and the public boat ramp on the other.

Finally, St. Michaels Harbor Inn Marina and Spa occupy the harbor’s south end. We’ll talk about all of those later, but now that you know what’s where, let’s look at least at some of the things you are going to want to do during your visit.

HOW TO GET HERE If you are coming by boat St. Michaels is located on the Miles River, an easy 15 miles inside Eastern Bay. There are two ways of getting to Eastern Bay. The first and easiest is through its wide entrance at the southern end of Kent Island. The second is by way of Kent Narrows off of the southern loop of the Chester River. The first is the easiest from anywhere south of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the second from anywhere north of that. For Annapolis boaters, it’s a bit of a toss-up. From Annapolis or the Bay Bridge, Eastern Bay is only about 10 miles. From Solomons, it’s a 35-mile trip north. From the mouth of the Bay, it’s a 100 mile journey. But with stopovers in Deltaville and Solomons, it makes an attractive stop on a week’s cruise.

Whichever entrance to Eastern Bay you choose, the trip up the Miles is a quick one. St. Michaels harbor lies on the west side of the river with depths of generally nine to 10 feet. Follow the markers though, because the water is shoal both north and south. Going from north to south, here is the layout. The Inn at Perry Cabin’s expansive property lies to the north, visible even before you reach the harbor. Jutting into the center of the harbor, are the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s buildings with its landmark Hooper Strait Lighthouse. South of that lie the town dinghy dock, Crab Craw Restaurant and docks, Patriot Cruises and Higgins Yacht Yard. Right next door is St. Michaels Marina, followed by the town docks. Finally, you’ll spot the docks of St. Michaels Harbour Inn and then little Parrott Cove. Chances are that every bit of available space will be filled with visiting boats. The rest will be filled with watermen’s boats and tour boats. There is usually a lot going on in St. Michaels harbor.

If you are trailering in For those pulling your boat down the Eastern Shore to St. Michaels, you’ll find convenient public boat ramps right in town, opposite the town dock and St. Michaels shuttle boats, off of West Harbor Road, just before St. Michaels Harbour Inn and Marina.

Once you launch the boat, you have some lovely cruising ahead of you. The Miles River makes a very pleasant cruise, meandering through the Eastern Shore countryside for several miles. We are particularly fond of little Hunting Creek, with its tidy farms and striking architecture upstream. But the real treat within easy cruising distance of St. Michaels is the Wye River. The entrance to the Wye lies less than four miles from the boat ramp. Take the eastern branch for a ride through an elegant wooded countryside. The river curves around Wye Island,

W E E K E N D S O N T H E WAT E R

ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

S T. M I C H A E L S

and if you stay to the left, comes out into Wye North on the other side of the island.

You’ll find an excellent place to go ashore and explore this preserve at Drum Point.

If you are launching a kayak, canoe or SUP The most convenient place to launch your kayak, canoe or SUP is probably at St. Michaels town dock near the Crab Claw Restaurant and the Chesapeake Maritime Museum. There is plenty of parking nearby. You can also put in at the public boat ramps off West Harbor Drive.

Once you’ve launched, you can tour St. Michaels harbor then head out onto the Miles River, turning either north or south as your fancy takes you. The closest creek for exploration is Long Haul Creek, just to the north. If you are feeling adventurous, head directly across the Miles and explore Leeds Creek, which heads into the countryside, with several interesting coves, for about 2 ½ miles.

For a different experience, head down Chew Street to launch at Waterfront Park into San Domingo Creek. There you’ll have plenty of charming coves and bays to explore. As you reach the mouth of the San Domingo, where it empties into Broad Creek, you’ll find a trio of marsh islands, including the largest, but not very large, Hambleton.

WHERE TO STAY Marinas We’ve mentioned St. Michaels marinas several times in passing. Here they are with their contact information. Really, you can’t go wrong with any of them. They principally vary in the choice of location and amenities. All are convenient to town. Once again, we’ll take them from north to south.

The first, Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s transient docks, are the only ones that come with restrictions. In order to stay here, you must be a member of the museum. You’ll still need to pay for dockage, but it’s quite reasonable, and admission to the museum is free. Membership also gives you free admission to a number of partner museums. (cbmm.org; 410-745-2016) Next along the harbor is Higgins Yacht Yard and Marina, St. Michaels’ last working yard. This is a good choice if you are looking for a great location and a basic marina at a good price. Higgins, by the way, was recently purchased by Eastern Shore native and nautical engineer Jon Clark, who also sails his family’s classic log canoe, Magic. (higginsyachtyard.com; 410-745-9303) Farther along the harbor comes the highly regarded St. Michaels Marina, which features in-slip fueling and pump-outs, restaurants—Lighthouse Bar, St. Michaels Crab and Steak House and Foxy’s—a pool and all the usual marina amenities, handling boats up to 220 feet. (stmichaelsmarina.com; 410-745-2400) Finally, comes St. Michaels Harbour Inn Marina and Spa. The name gives you an indication of its many attractions, with an inn, spa, Harrison’s Harbour Lights Restaurant and pool. There is a daily resort fee of $35 that includes workout room, pool, car service and loaner bicycles, which are handy since the marina is slightly farther from shops and the maritime museum than the others. (harbourinn.com; 410-745-9001)

If you decide to drop anchor in St. Michaels, one thing is almost guaranteed: You won’t be alone. Anchoring out for a St. Michaels weekend is a favorite way to visit, with upwards of 50 boats on the hook during many weekends.

u Inn at Perry Cabin.

Where to go? You’ll see the favorite spots when you arrive, but generally speaking and depending on the weather, anywhere in the broad harbor entrance out of the channel, of course, works. The holding there is good, though with all those boats you’ll want to be extra sure the anchor is well-set. Inside the harbor, you can sometimes find room in Fogg Cove to the north and just inside the cove behind Parrott Point on the south side.

If you don’t want to use your own dinghy to get ashore, call for a water shuttle on VHF 71.

Too crowded for your taste? Use St. Michaels’ back door and anchor in San Domingo Creek. You’ll need to go into the Choptank River, either by taking the shortcut through Knapps Narrows or coming around Blackwalnut Point, and then head up Broad Creek to San Domingo. To get ashore, take your dinghy to the bulkhead next to the dinghy dock and take the short walk into town. This is a good option if you are coming to St. Michaels from the south. If you come by way of Knapps Narrows, watch for traditional shoaling on both sides of the passage.

However, the channel was dredged in 2018, so it should be fine for the moment.

In a hotel, inn or bed & breakfast Towns like St. Michaels were invented for small inns and charming beds & breakfasts. With that in mind, you can understand that we can’t list them all here.

Instead, we are going to give you a few of our favorites. We are still exploring and discovering different ones every time we visit. We encourage you to do the same.

Let’s begin at the top of our favorites list, The Inn at Perry Cabin. If you are celebrating a very special occasion with a weekend in St. Michaels, this is the one you may want to consider. The Inn at Perry Cabin may be the Chesapeake’s most elegant address. In fact, it is so elegant that if you don’t want to make the trip yourself, the Inn will send a Hinckley 55 over to Annapolis to pick you up. Really.

No matter how you arrive, you’ll find 26 acres of gardens, orchard, and lawn bordering the Miles River. The Inn itself was built in 1816 by an aide de camp of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry and inspired by Perry’s cabin aboard the USS Niagara. It has since been expanded significantly to a full-service hotel, with a golf course, tennis courts and spa. It frequently ranks as the no. 1 destination for the Eastern Shore. We’ll get to Stars, its excellent restaurant, a little later. (theinnatperrycabin.com; 800-722-2949) We’ve already mentioned St. Michaels Harbour Inn Marina and Spa, under marinas, but if you want the luxury of sleeping ashore, the Harbour Inn can accommodate you here too. Harbour Inn has 52 rooms and suites, many with a view of the St. Michaels harbor. (harbourinn.com; 410-745-9001) Five Gables Inn and Spa is a wonderful spa, but we highly recommend it as an inn as well. The innkeepers have converted three 19th century homes into 20 rooms, each with its own fireplace and jacuzzi. We especially like the fact that they have set aside four rooms and a suite for guests who want to bring their pets.

There is also, of course, the spa, indoor pool, and sauna. They even have a needlepoint shop. No roughing it here. (fivegables.com; 410-745-0100) Let’s look quickly at a few other favorites.

The Two Swan Inn and Cottages is a beautiful renovated and restored inn and several restored cottages, including an old sail shed and watermen’s cottages, that lie along the Miles River within a two-blocks walk of Talbot Street shops and restaurants. Docking is available at next-door Higgins Yacht Yard. (twoswaninn.com; 410-745-2929) On the north end of the historic district, you’ll find the Parsonage Inn. You can’t miss it, and with eight distinctive rooms and a huge threecourse breakfast, you’ll love it! (parsonage-inn.com; 410-745-8383).

And last, we have to mention the Old Brick Inn, which is in fact two historic homes and a 20th century New Orleans-style Inn. The two historic homes were built in the early 19th century and make the most of their long history. One of the happiest features of the Old Brick Inn is that one of its elements is the Old Brick Café, which serves an excellent breakfasts. But we’ll get to that in the next section.

“don’t touch!” warning. With or without children, this is a museum that wants you to be involved. Visit the shipbuilding area and ask all the questions you want about this living craft. Then wander through the largest collection of Chesapeake Bay craft. Rent one of the museum’s small boats and get out on the water yourself. Climb up the old Hooper Strait Light and discover how lighthouse keepers lived. Take in the sweeping view of the harbor and the Miles River.

While we’re on the subject of museums, we suggest you drop by St. Michaels’s newest museum, and perhaps the newest automobile museum around. The Classic Motor Museum on Marengo Street is an easy walk from the Maritime Museum and one that will please the car enthusiasts among you. The display is small but ever-changing, as collectors and car buffs lend their car to the museum, then trade them out for another. (classicmotormuseum.org; 410-745-8979) If you happen to be in St. Michaels in late September, be sure to drop by the Concours d’Elegance at the Inn at Perry Cabin, where faultless automobile restorations equal the peerless quality of the marques.

Shop Talbot Street All of us love to while away a few hours studying the window displays of cool little shops in cool little towns, to poke our heads into an antique shop or gallery, looking for the unexpected treasure, to pick out the perfect summer dress or crab-logo polo. Well, St. Michaels specializes in just that kind of lazy-day pastime.

From Jimmy and Sooks (with its crab-logo resort-wear) to Olivins’ specialty olive oils to the Chesapeake Bay Trading Co. and Antiques on Talbot, St. Michaels has you covered. We love it! We usually start at the south end of Talbot and work our way uptown, rewarding ourselves at the top with a double-decker ice cream cone at Justine’s. Then we shop our way back down Talbot until we reach the Old Mill District, where we reward ourselves again, this time with an ice-cold St. Michaels Ale from Eastern Shore Brewing Company or a glass of chilled rosé from St. Michaels Winery. But we’ll get to all that, including next-door Lyons Distilling Co. next. (Don’t miss the Iron Will and the Boatyard furniture and antique shops right next to the distillery.)

Keep your “spirits” up Whether your taste runs to fine rums, dry IPAs, crisp Chardonnays or perfectly roasted coffees, you will want to plan a stop at St. Michaels’ Old Mill District, where you will find all of the above and more. Here’s a sampling: For locally distilled rums and rye whiskeys, visit the sampling room at Lyons Distilling Co., where Jaime Windon and Ben Lyon are producing world-class spirits. At Lyons, you’ll also find Gray Wolf Craft Distillery, which specializes in vodka and gin. (lyonsdistilling.com) If you prefer grape-based products, just around the corner you’ll find St. Michaels Winery, which uses Eastern Shore grapes to produce both reds and whites, from Vidal Blanc Reserve and Oaky Dokey Chardonnay to Maryland Merlot and Gollywobbler Red. Tastings are held daily. (st-michaels-winery.com; 410-745-0808) By the way, you’ll find more great local wines as well as tasty ciders at Great Shoals Cellars just down the street. Don’t Ginger Hard Apple and Crabapple Imperial sound delicious? Great Shoals also has an interesting selection of sweet wines. (greatshoalscellars.com; 443-786-0965) Time to move on to Eastern Shore Brewing Company, the Eastern Shore’s oldest micro-brewery. We confess a decided preference for Situation Critical IPA, but you may prefer Back Creek Blonde or even Blue Heron Coffee Porter.

Speaking of Blue Heron Coffee, you’ll find this excellent small-batch roaster just down the street. Blue Heron specializes in coffee beans grown in the Americas, like Guatemalan Atitlan. (blueheroncoffee.com; 410-714-0334)

Take a boat ride Like everything else St. Michaels does, it offers boat rides with flare. No simple tour boats here. Instead you have your choice of a working skipjack, a gorgeous century-old catboat or a replica 1930s steam ferry. How do you decide?

We have no idea. We never can, so we alternate one then another from visit to visit. Maybe you’ll have an easier time.

Here’s your choice in a little more detail: The skipjack H.M. Krentz was built in 1955 in Harryhogan, Va., at the Krentz yard. She was restored, and is currently worked and sailed by Capt. Ed Farley, a waterman and boatbuilder instrumental in preserving these iconic Chesapeake oystering craft. Capt. Ed even worked with writer James Michener when he was researching his book Chesapeake. (oystercatcher.com; 410-745-6080) The impeccably maintained, graceful and glamorous Selina II is a 41-foot gentleman’s yacht built in 1926. She is owned and sailed by Capt. Iris Clarke, the granddaughter of her original owners. A two-hour day sail or sunset cruise will transport you to a more elegant far-away time. Yes, we’re big fans! (sailselina.com; 410-726-9400) If you are in St. Michaels with the whole family, you may want to choose a narrated Miles River tour on Patriot Cruises replica steam ferry. The boat makes two cruises a day on weekdays and four on weekends during the season. (patriotcruises.com; 410-745-3100) Want to do it yourself? Rent a kayak or SUP from Shore Pedal and Paddle on Talbot Street. As you can tell from the name, you can rent a bicycle here too.

Here they are: The Spa at Harbour Inn (spaatharbourinn.com; 410-745-0646) is located on the third floor of Harbour Inn.

WHERE TO EAT Have we mentioned that St. Michaels has an abundance of everything fun?

Well, restaurants are naturally a big part of that fun. So here we give you a few of our recommendations. Like everything else, there are plenty more.

Bon appetit!

Breakfast Who can refuse a bacon blueberry waffle? Not us, we love to start our St. Michaels mornings at the Old Brick Inn, where we invariably pick out a dish we never even imagined existed. Like bacon blueberry waffles. Or a spinach bowl, served with eggs, bacon, grilled tomato, with balsamic and sun-dried tomato garlic parmesan olive oil. Don’t worry, you can get simple sausage and eggs too. The Old Brick is also open for lunch Thursday through Saturday. (oldbrickinn.com/cafe; 410-745-3323)

Lunch We have to fit Ava’s Pizzeria and Wine Bar in somewhere, so we’re going to make it lunch, though you may prefer their delicious pizzas and Italian dishes for dinner. Yes, Ava’s serves great pizza, both brick-oven and Detroit deep dish, in every variety you can imagine. Yes, it serves delicious Italian dishes and pastas too. But Ava’s also serves oysters. Raw oysters, wasabi oysters, Oyster Rockafella Pasta and baked oysters in creole butter. Oops, we forgot the wasabi oyster po-boy sandwich. Here’s a tip: Ava’s doesn’t take reservations, so give them a call and they’ll text you when your table is ready. (avaspizzeria.com; 410-745-3081)

u Ava’s Pizzeria and Wine Bar.

Dinner For that very special night, head over to Stars at the Inn at Perry Cabin. Fresh local ingredients from neighborhood farms and fresh local seafood, simply prepared. Not inexpensive, but impressive. (theinnatperrycabin.com/dining; 800-722-2949) For every other occasion, we believe you can’t go wrong at any of these, all located on Talbot Street. Theo’s (theossteakhouse.com; 410-745-2106): great for steaks, great for crabcakes, great for cocktails. Bistro St. Michaels (bistrostmichaels.com; 410-745-9111): mussels, boar, duck, gumbo, all delicious. And last, but far from least, 208 Talbot (208talbot. com; 410-745-3838): Our favorite is the Asian Noodle Bowl, which includes Maine lobster, Gulf shrimp, local lump crab, Little Neck clams, fresh fish and a lot of delicious complementary stuff, all in a hot and sour seafood broth.

SOLOMONS ISLAND Living on Solomons Island Time. Easy in, easy out, and very easy to love.

WHY YOU’LL WANT TO GO

S

olomons Island, ideally situated at the foot of the charming Patuxent River, wasn’t always a big deal. Far from it. At first, nobody lived there. Later the few hundred who did were either watermen, boat builders, or cannery workers. Even as late as the 1950s and 60s, tourists found more enticing places to visit and cruising boaters chose to bypass Solomons in favor of St. Leonard Creek, a few miles upriver, and a stop at Vera’s White Sands where the exotic Vera Freeman would dive off the dock and swim out to welcome incoming boaters with a fresh orchid. Who could blame them?

But my how times have changed! Now little Solomons Island is chock-ablock with boats of every make and description, most of them tied up in a half-dozen first-class marinas and boatyards in its well-protected harbor.

Solomons’ Calvert Maritime Museum is both child-centric and first among museums in its paleolithic maritime collection. Half a dozen of its restaurants are well worth the visit—can you say, “fresh seafood”?—and as many shops lure visitors inside to catch the town’s laid-back resort-island vibe. And all of it is within walking distance or a short dinghy ride.

You can tie up at a marina, anchor up lovely Mill Creek, put in your trailer boat at Solomons Island Boat Ramp and Fishing Pier, or launch your kayak, canoe or SUP at any number of locations. If you have fishing in mind, you’ll find that Solomons has one of the largest charter fleets around, with the middle Bay’s rich hunting grounds just minutes away. And, yes, there’s plenty more, but we’ll get to all that in a few minutes.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO FIND Solomons Island is a little bitty thing, which makes it both charming and entirely walkable. It’s thin (only a single road wide in spots) and not very long, only a mile and a half long from stem to stern. It’s connected to the outside world by a short, puddle-jumper-sized bridge, and from St. Mary’s County by a lovely soaring bridge across the Patuxent River. At the north end of the island, you’ll find Calvert Maritime Museum and at the south you’ll run out of road at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory. In between, you’ll find a succession of marinas plus the Maryland Pilot’s station along the east side and Solomons boardwalk and downtown of shops, restaurants, a fishing pier and a couple of churches on the west, or Patuxent River side. North of the island, along S.R. 4, you’ll find a couple of strip shopping plazas with a convenience store, a few more restaurants and a couple of nice hotels.

From the water, Solomons can best be accessed by its back doors, the Narrows, where you can dock at many of the restaurants; Back Creek, where most of the marinas are located; and Mill Creek, which is popular for anchoring.

 Cove Point Lighthouse.

HOW TO GET HERE One of Solomons’ most attractive points for cruising boaters is that it lies almost exactly halfway between the C&D Canal on the north and Norfolk/Portsmouth to the south. It’s a day-trip from Baltimore or Deltaville, and, let’s be honest, unless you want to drop anchor in an inconveniently located creek, it’s the only place to stop between the two, with good protection from bad weather, a good slip in a great marina and an easy walk to some world famous crabcakes and a cold beer.

Solomons is your place! Also near the top of the list is that Solomons is particularly easy to get into by boat.

By car, on the other hand, it’s on the way to nowhere in particular. You have to want to go there. But then, why wouldn’t you? After you’ve explored Solomons, you can put in your trailer boat to explore the beautiful Patuxent River. If you’ve brought your kayak, canoe or SUP, you can explore not only the Narrows, Back Creek and Mill Creek around Solomons, but you can also drive back up to Jefferson-Patterson State Park and put in for even more glorious adventure. We’ll get back to all that in a few minutes.

If you are arriving by boat Whether you are coming down from the Upper Bay or up from the Lower Bay, the entrance to the Patuxent River presents no obstacles, other than the occasional pound net to avoid. The only caveat from the north is to honor the restricted area around the Liquid Natural Gas dock off Cove Point. It’s well marked on your charts and chartplotter. This facility is active again—this time as

an exporter rather than an importer—so keep your eye out for the occasional LNG tanker coming and going.

Just below the LNG dock, you’ll spot handsome Cove Point Lighthouse, now part of Calvert Marine Museum.

The mouth of the Patuxent River is wide and deep, though the channel narrows briefly between Drum Point and Fishing Point before opening up again into a wide deep bay. Paxtuent River Naval Air Station lies along the south shore, while the entrance to Solomons lies along the north. The river itself continues northwest under the 139-foot tall Johnson Bridge.

After you pass Drum Point’s red “4”, you’ll find your choice of channels leading into Solomons Harbor. Both skirt a large area of shallow water (one to three feet) known as the Flats. Both channels are marked, and both have plenty of water (no less than 12 feet). Both meet at markers “2” and “3”.

Immediately on entering the harbor you’ll be confronted by a small unnamed island which is known as Molly’s Leg. Like the Flats, there’s plenty of water all the way around, so the choice is yours. The important thing to know is that Molly’s Leg is a kind of watery round-about.

Following it around to port, The Narrows shoots off first.

This is a short waterway that provides a back door to part of Solomons, including the Tiki Bar, Harbor Island Marina, Lighthouse Bar and Bunky’s Charter Boats.

Here you’ll also find a number of small-boat docks for restaurant access and for visiting the town.

The bulk of the town’s marinas lie up the second spoke in the wheel, Back Creek. Solomons Yachting Center occupies the western point, followed by Zahniser’s Yachting Center, Spring Cove Marina and Solomons Harbor. Nearly the entire east side of Back Creek is taken up with Calvert Marina, with Washburn’s Boat Yard occupying the cove at the end. Beyond that you’ll find private homes, two hotels, and three or four anchoring spots.

The final spoke in the Molly’s Leg wheel is Mill Creek, the spot of choice for most boats looking for a good anchorage.

The creek has no public marinas, but it does have more than a half-dozen fine spots to anchor, including a couple on Mill Creek’s tributary, St. Johns Creek, which continues north after Mill Creek and makes a jog to the east. Many choose the area around Bow Cove for its handiness to Solomons.

If you are trailering in Solomons Island and the surrounding Patuxent River area, including St. Leonard Creek, are great places to weekend with the family with your trailer boat. And when your thoughts turn to fishing, the water just outside the harbor entrance and as well as the middle Bay beyond the Patuxent River are famously productive areas.

ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

SIDE TRIP We could write an entire chapter on great side trips from Solomons. And it doesn’t matter whether you are cruising, trailering or toting your paddle craft. They’re all good.

Here are just a few highlights.

Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center We’ll begin close to town. This is going to be a bit of a challenge for those without a car, but a marina loaner, a stout bicycle or Uber will see you through to Annamarie Garden (annmariegarden.org; 410-326-4640) on Dowell Road just outside of town. In fact, it’s on the way by car to Calvert Marina. Annmarie is a 30-acre park with gardens, walking path and sculpture, much of it on loan from the Smithsonian Institution, and summer programs for children. There is also an exhibition hall and arts workshop. Admission is $5 or less, depending on age.

Programs are held throughout the year.

Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum We love Jefferson Patterson Park (jefpat.org; 410-4858501)! It’s full of trails, fields, a launch site for paddle craft, bike trails, visitor’s center, exhibits barn, recreated 17th century Indian village. Whew, we could go on. There are 70 archaeological sites on land that has been occupied for at least 9,000 years. There are picnic pavilions, educational programs for children and adults. And it’s all free.

The park also has an extraordinary collection of more than 8 million artifacts at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory. The lab offers several tours a month.

To get to the park by boat from Solomons, turn up the Patuxent River, passing under the Thomas Johnson Bridge (vertical height 140 feet) and rounding Point Patience. Just as you do, by the way, you’ll note the depth drop to a surprising 120 feet. Follow the river channel for another 5 miles to the entrance to St. Leonard Creek. Drop the anchor just inside off Petersons Point or a little farther in better protected Point Farm Cove. There is a small sandy beach to land the dinghy and walk into the park.

St. Leonard Creek is a lovely destination to explore all on its own, with good anchorages in Rollins Cove and just beyond Vera’s Beach Club Restaurant and Marina.

Vera’s also has a boat ramp.

By car, simply look for the signs for Jefferson Patterson Park off S.R. 2.

W E E K E N D S O N T H E WAT E R

SOLOMONS ISL A N D

Coming down from the Washington area, take S.R. 4 south off the Beltway and eventually you’ll arrive in Solomons. Just be sure to follow the “bear right” signs for Solomons Island before S.R. 4 strikes off across the Patuxent as the Johnson Bridge. From the Baltimore area, start with S.R. 2 near Annapolis and then just keep going. S.R. 4 and 2 intersect near . . . well . . . nothing, really. And, as above, follow the signs into Solomons.

Directly after that turnoff, you’ll come to Solomons Island Public Boat Ramp and Fishing Pier. This facility has a large parking lot that’s open 24 hours a day. Launching is free, but there is a fee for parking. An important note, however: The Solomons ramp is also handy to Calvert Marine Museum, which is just across the street. If you are retrieving your boat for the night and staying nearby, you can arrange for parking at either the hotel or bed & breakfast (more on those later). There is generally plenty of parking available. In a pinch, you can arrange to leave the trailer at one of the marinas.

Alternatively, you’ll find boat ramps at Solomons Point Marina (410-326-4258) and Shepard’s Yacht Yard (410-326-3939), both right in town on The Narrows.

Once you’re launched, you’ll find plenty of dinghy docks for grocery shopping (Holiday Inn dinghy dock, $2), dining (Kingfisher, Charles Street Brasserie and Island Hideaway, to name a few), downtown shops (Solomons municipal dinghy dock) and even the museum (Calvert Marine Museum dinghy docks).

If you are launching a kayak, canoe or SUP Once you are settled in and are ready to launch your paddle-craft, you have several choices. As always, the local boat ramps mentioned above make good entry points. In Solomons, you can also put in next to the town dinghy dock and pump-out station, which is located behind the public rest facility on Patuxent Street (the main street), across from the Solomons Boardwalk. If you come early in the day, you should be able to claim a convenient parking space on the street. There is more parking in the boardwalk area. Launching near Calvert Marina’s transient docks is another option. Just check in with the office first.

WHERE TO STAY MARINAS Where to begin? This is going to be tough, because Solomons Island has a marina for every occasion, from resort-plush to Spartan-basic. Really, you could hardly go wrong with any of them. So instead, here are a few of our favorites.

Zahnisers Marina This is kind of the grand-old Solomons Marina. The docks are good. The Dry Dock restaurant is excellent and reason enough for a visit. The location on Back Creek is convenient. And the tradition of fine boat-work is legendary. While Zahnisers has all the usual amenities, there is one little thing that we find particularly endearing. If you tell them you are going to be arriving after hours, the staff will attach a sign with your boat name on your assigned slip, clearly visible, so you can be sure you’re in the right place. We can tell you from experience, it’s a welcome sight. (zahnisers.com; 410-326-2166)

Marina, also located on Back Creek. Yes, it also has a full-service yard; and yes, it’s an easy walk from the marina into town and the marine museum. It has all of the usual amenities. So what sets it apart? Beautiful trees (our young dog Bindi discovered the bittersweet charm of chewing pine cones here), shaded riverside picnic facilities and a very special pool that comes with its own underwater piped-in music. Try that at the end of a hot day! (springcovemarina.com; 410-326-2161)

Calvert Marina We’ll conclude this marina short-list with a stop at Calvert Marina, a particular favorite. Yes, it has the usual amenities, although they are rather more rustic than the first two marinas. The transient docks are two long floating piers at the north end of the marina. No, it doesn’t have a boatyard, so if you need one, head for Zahnisers, Spring Cove or next door at Washburn Boat Yard (not a marina). Like the others, Calvert is also located on Back Creek, but on the opposite shore. So, it requires a dinghy trip or an Uber ride into town.

What sets it apart? First, lots and lots of walking room—70 acres worth. The marina occupies practically the entire western Back Creek shoreline, including what feels like an alphabet’s worth of piers, some of them covered. In fact, each pier seems to have a personality of its own, with slip holders often festooning the entrance with flowers and signs.

Second, history. At the end of the peninsula you’ll find a statue of a young sailor, reminding visitors that during World War II, this was the site of the country’s first amphibious training base. More than 67,000 officers and enlisted personnel came through here. (calvertmarina.com; 410-326-4251)

HOTELS

u Back Creek Inn.

Two of Solomons hotels—Quality Inn/Beacon Marina and Holiday Inn/Solomons Harbor Marina—have their own docks. Both welcome transients, whether you stay in the hotel or not. Both are an easy walk or bike ride to the small shopping center, with West Marine and Port of Call Liquors, as well as a few other shops. Weiss Market is farther up the highway.

If you are trailering in and would like to keep your boat in the water while you stay in a hotel, these would be good options. There is a nice Hilton Garden Inn (no marina) another mile or so north of that.

BED AND BREAKFASTS Solomons Victorian Inn Located in the heart of the island, Solomons Victorian Inn (solomonsvictorian inn.com; 410-326-4811) is convenient to everything in town and has its own parking. The rooms are lovely, of course, and the breakfast is to die for. Of particular interest is the fact that this was the home of Clarence Davis of the famous Solomons boatbuilding family, M.M. Davis & Son. During its long run, M.M. Davis company built practically every kind of boat, from commercial fishing

vessels to tugs and elegant recreational boats. The most famous, however, was probably Manitou, a graceful 53-foot yawl built in 1937, and sailed by John F. Kennedy while he was president.

Back Creek Inn This 125-year-old waterman’s home (backcreekinnbnb.com; 410-326-2022) on the banks of Back Creek has been a bed and breakfast for more than 30 years.

In addition to lovely rooms, great views and grand trees, the inn has two boat slips available for its guests. The Back Creek innkeeper, Carol Pennock, is an artist, working in oils, watercolors and stained glass.

Blue Heron Inn A Charleston colonial in Solomons?

Sure, why not. Solomons definitely has that southern beach casual feel. But the Blue Heron Inn has much more than chic architecture. For one important thing, innkeeper Regan Thompson conjures up the breakfast of your dreams. The Inn has four large rooms and a slip for those who come by boat. It is also strategically located for visiting town. Sound good? Visit the website at blueheroninnbandb.com or call 410-326-2707.

WHAT TO DO Calvert Marine Museum What better place to start than the wonderful Calvert Marine Museum? The Calvert Museum is a one-of-a-kind, all-purpose entertainment center. Oh yes, it takes its displays and its education mission very seriously indeed with a completely intriguing learning center on skates and rays, for example. Along the way, however, it also sponsors boat tours in several of the Bay’s iconic craft, the skipjack Dee and the buyboat William Tennyson. Rent a row boat or pedal boat and explore the museum basin. Watch scientists work in the Paleontology Prep Lab. Attend a concert.

Enjoy the two most engaging river otters you’re likely to come across. There are boat exhibits. Lighthouses. Just about everything you could think of.

You can walk or bicycle to the museum from most of the nearby hotels, beds and breakfasts and marinas (except Calvert Marina across the creek).

Alternatively, you can dinghy or kayak in to their dinghy dock. Get all the information and schedules of concerts and cruises here: calvertmarine museum.com.

Explore the town Take a walk down the boardwalk along the Patuxent. Poke into the shops on the other side of the street. Stop for lunch or buy an ice cream at the boardwalk stand. (Don’t worry, we’ll get to food in a minute.) Toss a fishing line into the water off the pier next to the boat ramp. Explore the back streets. With a good pair of shoes or a bicycle you can easily take in the island in an afternoon. Sit at a picnic table along Back Creek and watch the passing scene. Need a bathroom break? There are nice clean public facilities opposite the boardwalk. Behind the building, you’ll find a nice shady area with picnic tables, and beyond that, the town’s selfservice pump-out dock. Want to rent a bicycle? Check out Patuxent Adventure Center at paxadventure.com.

Explore the waterways

u Solomons Yachting Center.

Take your trailer boat, dinghy, kayak or SUP and meander through Solomons waterways, from The Narrows, to Back Creek, and admire the view from the water side. Feeling more adventurous, take a cruise up Mill Creek.

If you didn’t bring a boat, no problem.

You can rent one at Solomons Boat Rental (solomonsboatrental.com; 410-326-4060) or Bunky’s Charter Boats (bunkyscharterboats.com; 410-326-3241). Itching for a fishing excursion? Solomons has charter opportunities galore. Take a stroll along the Narrows to pick one out, like Bunky’s Charter Boats, which we just mentioned.

Chesapeake Biological Lab At the tip of Solomons, where it joins the Patuxent River, you’ll find the oldest public marine research center on the East Coast, the Chesapeake Biological Lab. While you may or may not be keen to attend one of their Distinguished Speaker Seminars, say the one entitled “Dendritic Network Structure Mediates Properties of Riverine Metacommunities,” you may be lucky enough to be in town for one of the lab’s Friday afternoon tours. Or you can stop by the visitor’s center, which is open on weekends. Check the times for those and the schedule for Citizen Scientist lectures like “Can Seaweed Clean Up The Mess Left By Your Cell Phone?” at umces.edu/cbi or 410-326-4281.

WHERE TO EAT Breakfast If you are one of those people who wakes up with the sun and immediately yearns for two eggs and a short stack, you’ll want to head over to Angler’s Seafood Bar & Grill (anglers-seafood.com; 410-326-2772) on Lore Road.

 The view from Charles Street Brasserie.

Anglers has a full and filling menu of breakfast items and they open every day at 7 a.m. They are also open for lunch and dinner.

On the other hand, if you like a more leisurely approach to the day’s first meal, then you will want to saunter over to Lotus Kitchen (lotuskitchen solomons.com; 410-326-8469) on Solomons Island Road (the main street). Lotus has a delightful choice of breakfast combinations, but we confess to a weakness for Finnegan’s Awake, which is a strangely delicious combination of sausage, egg, blue cheese and grape jelly on English muffin. Really. Lotus opens at 9 a.m. for breakfast and stays open through lunch and, on some weekdays, the dinner hour. No matter when you stop in, be sure to take one of Kim’s key lime pies back to the boat.

Lunch and Dinner We’ve given you two options with the breakfast list, but here are a couple of others for lunch and dinner that we particularly like.

The CD Café (thecdcafe.com; 410-326-3877) on Solomons Island Road has long been one of our favorites. The food is fresh, local when possible, and artfully prepared. CD is open for lunch and then again for dinner. There is often a wait. It’s worth it. Seafood, steaks, pasta—it’s all good. We particularly love the Gumbalaya, a happy combination of gumbo and jambalaya.

Charles Street Brasserie (charlesstreetbrass.com; 443-404-5332) at the other end of town is one of our new favorites. The choices are fun and the service sublime. Charles Street is open for dinner, lunch too on Saturday and on Sunday for brunch. Pork kebabs, strawberry waffles, smoked salmon omelets. And jazz piano. It even has a dock for docking-and-dining and a killer view.

Those are just two special options. You could eat every meal out for a week in Solomons and still be happy. The Pier (thepiersolomons.com; 410-449-8406) has the best view in town and Kingfishers’ (stoneysseafoodhouse.com/ kingfishers; 410-394-0236) crabs are everything a Chesapeake crustacean gourmet could wish for. We could go on . . .

DELTAVILLE The singular town with more boats than residents

WHY YOU’LL WANT TO GO

T

he popularity of Deltaville as a summer destination seems like an anomaly.

On the one hand, Deltaville is not officially a town at all. It is more like a crowd of boats with a sprinkling of people. Yes, it has a good hardware store, a couple of restaurants, several fun shops and a post office, but really, that’s about it. There is no downtown in downtown Deltaville. Why then does it also have a dozen good-sized marinas and boatyards, a fist-full of busy fishing charters, a good-sized West Marine and a first-rate little marine museum?

Take a good look at the map and the answer will become clear. Deltaville’s pointy peninsula sticks out into the Chesapeake Bay like Jimmy Durante’s nose. It is bounded on the north by the lovely Rappahannock River, on the east by the Bay and on the south by the charming Piankatank River. In other words, Deltaville is not near anything, and there’s not much there when you’re there, but it is nearly surrounded by some of the best sailing, cruising, fishing and paddling waters on the entire Chesapeake. Which is why Deltaville proudly declares itself the boating capital of the Chesapeake Bay.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO FIND Take a look around Deltaville and you’ll find it hard to put your finger on just where the town is. The answer lies along the shoreline. Yes, there is a main road in, and there are a few local roads, most of which wander briefly through quiet neighborhoods before ending at the water. That makes trying to see Deltaville by car a fairly trying business. You’ll discover that you are better off touring the town by boat, whether you arrive on your own cruising boat, you tow it behind your car, you bring it tied to the top of your car, or you charter it after you get there.

Because that’s the heart and soul of Deltaville: marinas and boatyards. Everything else is pretty much incidental. From Broad Creek off the Rappahannock on the north to Stingray Point on the east and Jackson Creek and Fishing Bay off the Piankatank on the south, it’s all about the water. And it has always been that way.

Deltaville began as a center of boatbuilding and, when that industry faded, evolved into a center for recreational boating.

Its western-most point is Stingray Point, where explorer Capt. John Smith was stung by, yes, a stingray. He thought he was a goner but recovered sufficiently to enjoy roast stingray and mashed potatoes that night for dinner. (Just kidding about the mashed potatoes.)

Getting around to restaurants, shops, maritime museum, hardware store and West Marine without a car can be a little bit of a challenge from most of the marinas. Bicycles are a good option, and several of the marinas can provide them. Marina loaner cars and friendly residents work as well.

D E L T AV I L L E u A classic catches the breeze on Fishing Bay

HOW TO GET HERE If you are coming by boat Deltaville lies roughly 50 nautical miles north of Norfolk/Portsmouth and about the same distance south of Solomons Island. It is more than 90 nm south of Annapolis and Baltimore. This makes Deltaville a popular stop for boats cruising up and down the Bay. But when you are looking for a fun weekend on the water, you will probably want to save Deltaville for one of those long weekends you’ve had in mind.

Once you reach Deltaville, you’ll have three choices for finding a marina or a place to drop anchor. All three are good options. Two are well-protected from just about any kind of a blow; the third is perfect for maximizing those sultry summer breezes, yet it is well-protected from northerlies. All have marinas, boatyards and anchorages. Of course. This is Deltaville.

Let’s take them one at a time. If you are coming from the north, Broad Creek off the Rappahannock makes the quickest approach. It is well marked and lined with marinas. Word to the wise, however: Broad Creek is subject to shoaling at its entrance, so follow the markers carefully and keep one eye on the depth sounder.

If you are coming up from the south, follow the channel markers into the Piankatank River, being careful to avoid the shoal off Gwynn’s Island. You can cut green “3” by about half a mile, but keep an eye on the depth sounder. About two and a half miles inside the Piankatank, just past green “5”, look north and you’ll see the first markers for Jackson Creek. The channel is a bit complicated at first glance (midway, it makes a sharp dogleg to port), but follow the sequence and you’ll be fine. Once in, you’ll find two branches. To starboard, you’ll find a marina and boatyard and a couple of good places to anchor. To port, you’ll find Fishing Bay Yacht Club and several well-protected anchorages.

Finally, if you continue up the Piankatank around Stove Point Neck—watch the mile-long shoal—you’ll soon find yourself aiming toward Fishing Bay, a lovely natural harbor; one of the Bay’s most famous. Boats from all over the world drop anchor in this deep and relatively protected bay. Some summer nights the bay looks like a city of lights. Here too you will find one of Deltaville’s oldest boatyards and a very comfortable marina.

If you are trailering in From Baltimore, your best bet is to follow U.S. 301 south to U.S. 17. From Washington, choose either the Beltway to the U.S. 17 exit toward Fredericksburg or cut over on U.S. 50 or S.R. 4 to 301 and then down. In either case, leave 17 at Saluda and follow S.R. 33 into Deltaville.

From the Hampton Roads area, find your way to I-64 and then U.S. 17 north.

Leave 17 near Gloucester on S.R. 14, then north on S.R. 3 and finally S.R. 33. Whew, it’s shorter than it sounds, only about an hour and a half from Norfolk. The Washington/Baltimore jaunt is considerably longer, three and a half to four and a half hours.

Well, your maps app can handle all of that. The important thing is: Where are you going to launch the boat? For a boating-crazy town, there are fewer options than you might think. Here are your choices. In Deltaville itself, you can launch at either Norview Marina or nearby J & M Marina. Both will cost you $10 in launch fees and both will set you out on Broad Creek. J & M’s ramp is probably the better of the two, especially if you need much depth to launch and recover. Outside of Deltaville, you can launch on state-owned Mill Creek Landing

in Wake, Va. Follow the boat-ramp signs off S.R. 33 before you get into Deltaville.

The parking area is a bit tight and it can get crowded, but it’s open 24 hours a day.

If you are launching a kayak, canoe or SUP Take a look at the general driving directions above or use your map app to get to Deltaville. Once there, you will need to use a little ingenuity to find places to put in. You can launch from the boat ramps at Norview Marina and J&M Marina on Broad Creek, and any number of the other marinas and boatyards have areas where a launch is possible off the docks or shoreline. In addition, there is what was once a town dinghy dock on Jackson Creek at the end of Lovers Lane that may work. At low tide, though, it’s a wicked drop from the pier, but a land-launch might be possible. Alas, there is no parking. Finally, also on Jackson Creek, Fishing Bay Yacht Club, which has launch areas for its small-boat fleets, may be able to accommodate you in quieter moments.

If you’d like to arrange for a boat No boat? Chartering a sailboat in Deltaville has a lot going for it. You can stay on it while in town. Anchor out. Spend your holiday out cruising the middle and lower Bay. We recommend Norton Yachts (nortonyachts.com), where you can charter any of several Hunters and Jeanneaus.

Rather charter a fishing boat and captain? Deltaville has them aplenty Here are just a few: Restin’ Easy with Capt. Trip Mathews out of Norview Marina (804-314-9153), Patty Lee II with Capt. Berend Tyson out of Snug Harbor Marina on Fishing Bay (804-366-1121) and Miss Ella with Capt. Tom Narron at 804-370-7394. There are plenty more. You’ll find a list here: charterboatsofvirginia. com/find-a-captain/middle-peninsula-captains/ What about renting a paddle craft? Try Jackson Creek Outfitters (804-7769812) for renting kayaks, paddleboats and small sailboats. You’ll find them at Deltaville Marina. They are also a good source for paddling suggestions in the area.

WHERE TO STAY Marinas Deltaville may be a little light on boat ramps and four-star restaurants, but it more than makes up for all that when it comes to fishing and cruising boat facilities. In fact, once your boat is afloat, Deltaville has just the right place for your weekend adventure. It has so many right places that we don’t have room to mention them all here. Instead, we’ll do what we did with that other boating capital, Annapolis, and just give you a few of our favorites. It’s a tough job, but that’s what we’re here for. So, we’ve limited ourselves to one for each of Deltaville’s three boating destinations.

Broad Creek This is the toughest choice because this short, sweet Rappahannock River tributary has nearly a dozen marinas and boatyards, each with its own advantage over the others, from Stingray Point and Regatta Point marinas at the east end to Chesapeake Cove Marina at the west end, where Bob and his son Bo reign supreme. We could have picked any of those, or Norton’s, Norville’s or Walden’s.

Instead, we’re going to single out a sentimental favorite, Deltaville Yachting Center, which is located in a cove of its own about midway up the creek. Lew ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

A typical Deltaville summer scene: docks, water, boats. q

and Onna are always friendly and helpful. They have a good service yard and there is a loaner car. We enjoy the room to walk the dogs (always important), the bit of nature around us, and our dockmates, who are welcoming and have good stories to tell (like discovering a young fox that had inadvertently wandered into their forward berth one night).

On Broad Creek, you will find gas and diesel at Norville’s, Norton’s, and Chesapeake Cove marinas. If you need major services (or even minor repair) you might also try Zimmerman Marine.

Jackson Creek This one is easy because our choice is the only marina on Jackson Creek. But we’d single it out anyway. Deltaville Marina and Boatyard (deltavillemarina. com) has all the usual amenities of a modern marina, from restrooms and showers to loaner bikes and a loaner car. It has an extensive repair facility and a new floating fuel dock. All of that is good, but what makes Deltaville Marina and Boatyard particularly appealing to us is that it is the only one of two Deltaville marinas within walking distance of restaurants (Café by the Bay, 18 minutes), the hardware store (Hurds, 20 minutes) and West Marine (30 minutes). It is also next door to the Deltaville Maritime Museum.

Here’s another easy choice. If you are looking for a marina rather than an anchorage on Fishing Bay, head for the little lighthouse on the dock at Fishing Bay Marina (fishingbay.com) We love stopping here so we can spend hours wandering past the workboats in the covered slips (we always find covered slips quite wonderful and mysterious), then rounding the basin and exploring the boats in the slips on the other side. Did we mention the pool? It’s terrific. And there are the usual amenities and loaner bikes.

Fishing Bay Marina is the other Deltaville marina within reasonable walking distance of “town.” West Marine is about a mile up the road. And our favorite Deltaville restaurant, The Table at Wilton, is 30 minutes away on foot, as is J&W Seafood.

Fishing Bay is not a big marina, but it’s a very comfortable one. We always feel immediately at home. You’ll also find gas and diesel here.

If you need work done, you need not go any farther than Chesapeake Boat Works (chesapeakeboatworks.com), an old-style working boatyard, right next door. It’s all in the same Farinholt family as Fishing Bay Marina, as is Stingray Point Boat Works (stingraypointboatworks.com), a do-it-yourself and repair yard on Broad Creek.

Bed & Breakfasts Whether you are keeping your boat in a marina or behind your car, you can opt for a special weekend ashore at Deltaville’s Heaven Scent Bed & Breakfast (heavenscentbnb.com), which is located in an old and beautifully restored farmhouse just off S.R. 33 (isn’t everything in Deltaville?). Innkeeper Pat will even pick you up at the marina. Children and pets are welcome. Breakfast is delicious.

The atmosphere is totally laid back. If you can’t relax here, you have forgotten how.

Campgrounds Here’s a final good option for visiting Deltaville: Cross Rip Camp (crossripcamp. com), which can accommodate tents and RVs. Water and electric are available. It has a small dock on the Piankatank near Jackson Creek with several slips, and makes a great place to launch a canoe, kayak or SUP as well as small sailboats such as Hobie Cats. There is a fresh water pond, lots of wildlife and trees and a sand beach on the Piankatank for swimming.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GET HERE ON THE WATER The Rappahannock River Let’s begin with what Deltaville does best. Its genius is to have some of the best boating anywhere right outside its door. Come out of Broad Creek and you will find yourself near the mouth of the beautiful Rappahannock River. Turn to port and cruise upriver to Locksley Creek, where you can stop for a lunch of fresh local oysters at Merroir. We’ll have more on this in the Where to Eat section.

Cruise a little farther upriver and stop at charming Urbanna (a town that well deserves its own Weekenders story) with its unusual restaurants and auto parts/ marine supply store, old downtown with historic general store and drugstore soda fountain, its marinas, and its elegant homes.

Want more? After the Norris Bridge, cross the river and cruise up Carter Creek to Irvington and The Tides Inn (tidesinn.com) for lunch (another ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

enchanting Corrotoman River, with tributaries shooting off this way and that and deep water all the way.

Fancy some fishing instead? Simply leave Broad Creek and let go the lines.

You’ll have plenty of company in the waters at the mouth of the Rappahannock.

The Piankatank River Leave Jackson Creek or Fishing Bay (or come around past Stingray Point from Broad Creek) and take a cruise up the little-known Piankatank. Explore Wilton Creek, one of the Chesapeake’s best hurricane holes. If you can get under the 43-foot high S.R. 3 Bridge, spend the afternoon in the perfect little bay behind Berkley Island. Just keep an eye on the depth sounder to stay off the surrounding shoal.

Here’s a great cruise off the Piankatank. Come out of Fishing Bay or Jackson Creek and head for the opposite side of the Piankatank, following the markers carefully (there are shoals off practically everything here) through Hills Bay until you come to green “1”. Then you have a lovely choice. Either find green “1” for Queens Creek to starboard. It’s a narrow entrance, which has recently been dredged to seven feet, with six to seven feet inside. There is a very secluded anchorage just inside.

Your other option here is one of our favorites—Gwynn’s Island. From that original green “1”, look directly south for green “3”, then make the turn into Milford Haven following “3a”, “3b” and then red “4”. Just ahead you find 12-foot tall Gwynn’s Island Bridge, Virginia’s busiest swing bridge. If it’s operational (it has a lot of issues) it will open on request. Just beyond it to port, you’ll find an anchorage and the new slips belonging to the Hole-in-the-Wall Waterfront Grill (holeinthewallwaterfrontgrill.com). Stop in for a lunch of fresh local oysters and seafood, then stroll around to explore one of the Chesapeake’s most unusual locations, including Callis Wharf, once a busy seafood wharf and steamboat stop, but now a busy oyster hatchery.

Continue up Milford Haven until you reach delightful Stutts Creek.

If you are braver than we are and have a shallow draft boat, you can try your hand at Hole-in-the-Wall inlet from Milford Haven out into the Chesapeake. It’s tricky, full of shoals and devilishly difficult unless you follow a local skipper through. The Coast Guard has even thrown up its hands and removed their nav aids. On second thought, just turn around and go back the way you came.

The Chesapeake Bay Come out of any of Deltaville’s havens and you will soon find your way out into the Bay. Raise your sails and soar. Open up the throttle and whoop. Load up the bait and wait. It’s all glorious!

AROUND TOWN

SIDE TRIP A culinary outing to Topping We can’t leave the eating section of this article without putting in a plug for Merroir (rroysters.com/restaurants/ merroir). Yes, it’s a funny name. Like “terroir,” meaning the flavor of the land defining the taste of the wine or food generally, only in this case it is “mer” meaning the taste imparted by the local waters to the oysters.

Deltaville Maritime Museum Borrow a bicycle or loaner car, climb into the dinghy or paddle around the bend, but get yourself to Deltaville’s pride and joy, the Deltaville Maritime Museum and Holly Point Park Nature Preserve (deltavillemuseum.com).

If you want to understand Deltaville, you’ll need to experience its museum, because it is the product of its residents, full and part-time. They love their museum, and rightly so.

When their museum caught fire and burned in 2012, the town mourned briefly then set to work building it back even better. The scheduled events went on as planned, and in 2014, the museum reopened with a grand exhibit of favorite Chesapeake marine artist John Barber’s paintings. The building itself is constructed as an homage to its lost Stingray Point Hotel.

The real stars of the museum are its handsomely restored 1924 buyboat, F.D. Crockett, and the Explorer, the museum craftsmen’s 2007 interpretation of the 1607 John Smith shallop. The museum’s perennially sold-out boatbuilding week in July is the facility’s Super Bowl.

Merroir is a small and charming restaurant located just up the Rappahannock from Deltaville before the Norris Bridge. It is essentially the tasting house for Rappahannock Oyster Company oysters, but with other seafood, wine and beer as well.

Leave the Rappahannock channel at green “9” and follow the Locklies Creek channel. The restaurant has some slips and a long dock for docking and dining. Alternatively, you can go into larger Regent Point Marina across the creek and dinghy over.

Shopping Need boat supplies? Deltaville is your place. For many years, tiny Deltaville had not one, but two West Marines. Now instead it has one jumbo-sized West Marine (804-776-7890). Hurd’s Hardware (804-7767241) is located practically across the street on S.R. 33 (where else?). Hurd’s Hardware is the kind of local hardware store that we all dream about—it has everything and then some. Hurd’s, which has been around since 1946, knows its market and stocks its shelves accordingly. There are fishing and boating supplies, as well as a vast array of gizmos and gadgets and whatnots, enough to fix everything you own. All you have to do is ask.

Even the shops in town specialize in things of a nautical nature. Our particular favorite is Nauti Nell’s (nautinell.com), which, of course, is also located on S.R. 33 and has been a Deltaville mainstay since 1994. Founded by world cruisers who fell in love with Deltaville, Nell’s is chock full of nautical items for gifts and consignment items for more practical purposes. It has books, DVDs and CDs, mostly dedicated to the Chesapeake Bay. You’ll find several other fascinating shops along S.R. 33 as well, including a couple of antiques shops.

While restaurants are not Deltaville’s forte, there are just enough good/fun ones to keep your palate pleased.

Cocomo’s (804-776-8822) is a laid-back tiki-bar affair, handy to marinas on the north side of Broad Creek. A word of warning though, Cocomo’s has a history of closing, then reopening, then changing its name, then changing its name back, and so on. The bottom line is that we can’t promise it will be open when you are there. We hope it is.

Café by the Bay (804-776-0303) will give you a good start in the morning with coffee and breakfast sandwiches or get you over the lunchtime munchies with sandwiches.

For dinner, saunter down S.R. 33 to The Table at Wilton (thetableatwilton.com), which is also open for lunch and breakfast on Saturdays. So good!

For fresh seafood in Deltaville, bike or hike to J&W Seafood and Gourmet Market ( jandwseafood.com) for local oysters, mussels, clams and, of course, fresh local crabs. J&W also has a nice bait and tackle shop. You can also get your Virginia fishing license here.

If you need groceries, drive or take a loaner car (okay, you can bicycle too) up S.R. 33 to the Deltaville Market, a small but adequate IGA grocery store.

PORTSMOUTH The perfect port city to anchor your weekend on the water.

WHY YOU’LL WANT TO GO

T

he charming old city of Portsmouth, a center of maritime activity for nearly four hundred years, stretches out along the busy Elizabeth River, named for Queen Elizabeth I, at the extreme southern end of the Chesapeake Bay. The heart of this riverfront city, and the center of its many attractions, is known as Olde Towne. This is where you’ll want to concentrate your weekend visit.

But don’t think of Olde Towne Portsmouth as a fusty old place, sleepy with age. Along with a world-class collection of historic buildings, churches and homes, Olde Towne has a vibrant nightlife with several first-rate entertainment venues, a dozen highly regarded restaurants and and weekends full of music, art, markets, crafts, and antiques.

In addition, Portsmouth is directly across the river from Norfolk, a fact that makes it doubly attractive to visitors because a simple water taxi or ferry boat ride makes Norfolk attractions such as Nauticus and Waterside delightfully easy to reach.

So, whether you come by boat or car, you’ll soon fall under the spell of Olde Towne Portsmouth and its fascinating maritime heritage.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO FIND Just to orient you, here is a quick tour of Portsmouth from the water. You might want to keep a map open in your other hand. Stick with us, it will all make sense in the end.

The city of Portsmouth lies south of Craney Island (an ever-growing spoil island) and Hampton Roads at the south end of the Chesapeake Bay. Like its neighbor Norfolk, it traces the Elizabeth River and its northern tributaries, in Portsmouth’s case encompassing by its own count 90 miles of shoreline. You will see right away why this area has been a base of shipbuilding and all things maritime right from the beginning. And by beginning, we mean within a decade or two of the founding of Jamestown.

On its north end, just south of Craney, you’ll find the historic U.S. Coast Guard Base, followed soon afterward by the Western Branch of the Elizabeth. The Portsmouth Marine Terminal on Pinner Point comes next, and then, jutting well out into the river and creating a bay popular with ICW cruisers, is the historic Hospital Point, site of the historic Naval Medical Center, and the location of the ICW Mile “0.” Then along comes another creek, Scotts, and finally the heart and soul of Portmouth, Olde Towne, its northern boundary marked by Tidewater Marina’s breakwater and docks, and the Crawford Trail and Parkway. Here the Elizabeth River splits with the Eastern Branch continuing into the Norfolk side and the Southern Branch forming the eastern border of Olde Towne as far as Ocean Marine docks and large yacht repair facility and then meandering off past the sprawling Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Why is it called the Norfolk Shipyard when it’s

in Portsmouth? Glad you asked. When the old Gosford Shipyard was renamed by the Navy in 1862, there was already a Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in New Hampshire, so they named it after the county (Norfolk) instead. Whatever the reason, this is where famous ships such as the USS Chesapeake, the CS Virginia (better known as the Merrimack) and the USS Enterprise (world’s longest naval ship) were constructed.

From here things stay very industrial and shippy, on both sides of the river, until the Albemarle & Chesapeake (“Virginia Cut”) and Dismal Swamp Canals split.

Whew, got all that straight? Good, now we can get back to Olde Towne, which is where pretty much everything you’ll want to see is located anyway.

Happily for those arriving by boat, Olde Towne is bookended by two major marinas, Tidewater to the north and Ocean Marine to the south. Everything in between is within walking distance. Most of the restaurants and many of the shops are located on High Street. To the north and south of High are quiet, tree-shaded residential areas, punctuated by historic squares and churches.

Within this area you’ll find most of the museums. Here too you’ll find some lovely and historic bed and breakfasts. And if an elegant riverside hotel is on your wish list, Olde Towne just happens to have one, the Renaissance Hotel.

rule. The trip into Norfolk and Portsmouth is the exception. In addition to the increased commercial shipping traffic headed in to and out of Norfolk and Portsmouth terminals as well as tugs and barges coming and going from docks up the Elizabeth River, boaters here must contend with U.S. Navy ships, which come with their own set of security requirements—most of which involve staying well out of the way. Once you get used to watching every which way in the manner of a hoot owl, you’ll find it’s quite exciting.

After we’ve made the turn into the Elizabeth River at Sewell Point, we like to run just outside the channel markers on the western side, or just inside the markers on the eastern side. The eastern side will of course give you the best view of the U.S. Navy’s Atlantic Fleet, but you definitely don’t want to wander outside the channel here. You’ll be plenty close enough for a good view.

Once you are past the Navy ships, you’ll come to a series of ship terminals and then the coal black Norfolk Southern Pier 6 we mentioned above. Now you are nearly into the passage between downtown Norfolk to port and Portsmouth to starboard. Once you pass Hospital Point on the Portsmouth side, watch for Tidewater Marina’s breakwater and docks.

If you are trailering in Your best (and pretty much only choice) for a public boat ramp is Portsmouth City Park, which has three docks and two ramps, as well as restrooms and other park facilities. Launching here will put you about 2.5 miles up the West Branch of the Elizabeth River. The West Branch joins the main river at Pinner Point, north of Olde Towne and just south of Craney Island. From there, turn to port for a cool cruise past the U.S. Navy Atlantic Fleet; turn to starboard for an equally nifty cruise through bustling Norfolk and Portsmouth as well as a good look at the Navy Yard’s impressive dry dock facilities and “hotel boats” for crew in dry dock.

Continue down the Southern Branch another few miles for the novel experience of locking through the Great Bridge Lock. If you’ve time, continue under the Great Bridge Bridge to the Great Bridge Park’s free dock. Take a walk, have lunch, read the historic markers and then head back to Portsmouth. Want to go fishing? Head out the Elizabeth River into Hampton Roads, then head to port up the James River or to starboard to get out onto the Bay and some great fishing.

If you are launching a kayak, canoe or SUP Yes, even in the midst of busy Portsmouth and Norfolk there are several places to put in your paddle-craft on your visit to Olde Towne. The first is Portsmouth City Park on the West Branch of the Elizabeth River. As we mentioned above, the park has two paved boat launches, but it also has a beach launch for kayaks, canoes and SUPs. You can drive within 20 feet of the beach to drop your craft for an easy launch. From there it is a 2.5 mile paddle to the Elizabeth River. Along the way, you can explore any number of creeks and salt marshes on both sides that invite exploration. Once you reach the main river, traffic in number and size will increase dramatically, so paddler discretion is advised. City Park is located on Cpl. J.W. Williams Ave. South of Olde Towne and at the south end of the Naval Shipyard, you’ll find a lovely new kayak launch area at Paradise Creek Nature Park. This one is even handicap accessible. Here you can paddle through 11 acres of restored wetlands opening into Paradise Creek or you can join a guided tour. The Elizabeth River Project has been working to restore this area since 2001. See paradisecreek. elizabethriver.org/kayaking.

ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

SIDE TRIP Dismal Swamp Loop This may be a little ambitious, but if you have the time and the boat, you can’t go wrong. Head down the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River and then make the turn into Deep Creek and follow it to the Dismal Swamp Canal. Even if you only go as far as the Dismal Swamp Welcome Center before turning back, you’ll get a flavor of this oldest of ICW canals. If you have the time, continue to Elizabeth City, where you can stay at one of their free docks or a comfortable marina, then head out the Pasquotank River onto Albemarle Sound and back up the Albemarle & Chesapeake Canal Route to complete the Loop. Three to four days in all.

Norfolk If you’ve only an extra day, make it a visit across the Elizabeth River to Norfolk. Take the water taxi or ferry and wander over to Nauticus and the USS Wisconsin. Continue through the park beyond the battleship to the Pagoda and Garden. Then head over to Granby Street for your choice of restaurant. Finish the day with oysters and a cold beer at Rappahannock Oyster Company in the renovated Waterside Center.

Then step out the door and catch the water taxi back to Portsmouth.

Fort Monroe On your way out through Hampton Roads, either by boat or car, make a short detour near Hampton to visit Fort Monroe, now a national park site.

Wander through the old moated fort, visit the Casemate Museum and dine at the imposing Chamberlin Hotel. By boat, you can either stay at the Old Point Comfort Marina and walk across the street to the fort, or anchor out in Mill Creek and dinghy in to visit.

Finally, put in your kayak at Hoffler Creek Wildlife Preserve (757-686-8684; hofflercreek. org). There is a $10 launch fee for the park’s floating dock. Although the dock is half a mile from the parking area, there is a shuttle with kayak caddy that runs from one to the other. You can rent a kayak here or join a guided paddle. Hoffler is located at the north end of the city near Craney Island. Its adjoining Hoffler Creek opens into the James River.

u Hoffler Creek Wildlife Preserve.

WHERE TO STAY MARINAS Tidewater Yacht Marina (757-393-2525; tidewateryachtmarina.com) is a favorite choice for its location at the north side of Olde Towne and its extensive facilities. It is probably the most convenient for a weekend visit. Tidewater has its own restaurant and bar, a floating pool and party deck, fuel and repair facilities. And good WiFi.

Ocean Yacht Marina (757-321-7471; oceanyachtmarina.com) at the south end of Olde Towne is a very pleasant choice as well. And it is nearest to the Union Bank & Trust Pavillion.

So if you have tickets to an event, this might be your best choice. To get to Ocean Marine, follow the channel past Tidewater and into the Southern Branch while keeping an eye out for criss-crossing water taxis and the ferries.

Just beyond the two city docks, you’ll spot Ocean Marine’s basin and piers.

Free docks There is a third option for Olde Towne dockage, and that is to choose either of the city’s two basins—North Basin and South Basin, which are cut into the seawall. These also serve as water taxi stops. The ferry leaves from the South Basin. You won’t find power or water hookups, but you will find free dockage here for up to 36 hours on a first-come first-served basis. Of the two, we find South Basin a little bit more comfortable. The free docks may lack the comfortable facilities of the marinas, but they are indisputably in the center of everything.

HOTELS Our first choice for an Olde Towne hotel would certainly be the Renaissance Portsmouth-Norfolk Waterfront Hotel (renaissance-hotels.marriott.com), which is located directly on the South Branch of the Elizabeth River and right in the middle of everything you are going to want to see. The views are impressive, especially from the rooftop bar. The hotel has its own restaurant and is within walking distance of many others. In fact, all of Olde Towne is just outside your door.

If you are planning to come and go with your trailered boat, you might find the Quality Inn & Suites Olde Towne (choicehotels.com) more convenient. It is located at the western edge of Olde Towne on Effingham Street.

BED AND BREAKFASTS A special weekend in a historic Olde Towne bed and breakfast seems like a natural. Here are two we recommend.

The Glencoe Inn (glencoeinn.com; 727-397-8128) is located on the Elizabeth River just a couple of blocks south of Tidewater Marina. The home was built in 1890 and the rooms feature antique furnishings, private baths and high-speed internet. Our favorite part: the Scottish breakfast, including fresh homemade scones.

The Mermaid’s Porch (mermaidsporch.com; 727-673-3790), a Queen Ann Victorian with a lovely big porch featuring mermaids and a siren swing. There is also a courtyard, large welcoming living room and locally sourced breakfast.

WHAT TO DO Take a walk into history Don’t worry, this won’t hurt. If you are in love with history, we don’t have to tell you more than to get hold of a copy of the city history walk and indulge your passion. You won’t find a better place to do it than Olde Towne. Three hundred years of historic homes and buildings. Leafy city squares. Churches awash in the past. Splendid architecture. Tiffany windows. Echoes of a violent past. Struggle for a brave future. It’s all here. And plenty of places for lunch.

If you consider architectural history more of an inconvenience than a long road to the future, we urge you to wander the streets of Old Towne and let the history of the place wash over you like a pleasant breeze. Enjoy the shady streets, the quiet neighborhoods, the perfect flowerbeds. Now, wander over to High Street and have a cold beer or a cup of tea. Then go shopping. We’re coming to that next.

Go shopping Yes, let’s get right to shopping. We can get back to more elevating activities later.

But where to begin? Here are a few of our favorites. We never visit Plymouth without a long and lingering look through the endless temptations of Skipjack Nautical Wares and Gallery. Antiques nautical stuff, nautical art from a well-known artists, jewelry, folk art, and even marine salvage. Make a boater happy! Then there’s Stellar Wine, the Kitchen Koop and the Little Shoppes on High. You get the idea. Go to it!

No, Olde Towne’s museums are all a nice manageable size, not too big. Just right for a nice relaxing weekend in a new town. Take the Portsmouth Lightship Museum. It’s a ship: How long can that take? Okay, the USS Wisconsin across the river in Norfolk takes a long time. This one, a lightship, carried about 15 crew when not sitting for months or years on end in one place, which is what it mainly did. Lightships were like lighthouses that moved. They were placed in dangerous places to warn off passing ships. This one was built in 1915 and didn’t return until 1964. Then it ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

 Portsmouth Children’s Museum

came here to be a museum. Then there is the Naval Shipyard Museum, which saves you a trip to the shipyard, and just outside Olde Towne, the Railroad Museum, which has artifacts of the railroading days and an old steam engine, passenger car and caboose.

By the way, Norfolk Southern Railroad has a small museum of its own a water-taxi ride and a short walk away.

And if you’ve packed a few children for the trip, you’ll want to be sure to take them to the Portsmouth Children’s Museum. There they can produce very big bubbles, learn to be a tugboat captain and a banker, and be dazzled by the stars in the Beazley Planetarium. Sure, it’s in Olde Towne too.

Many of these museums are open only on weekends, so check the times.

Be entertained During the season—roughly May through December—you’ll find plenty of special events around Olde Towne to keep you royally entertained. Here are just a few: While you are still planning your weekend in Portsmouth, check the schedule for the Union Bank & Trust Pavilion. This is the area’s venue for top-name performers. Sit under cover or under the stars and enjoy the concert.

And if you are staying at Ocean Marine, you will be only steps away.

If you are in town on a Thursday, walk over to High Street Landing and listen to great local musicians as you enjoy the evening along the Elizabeth River.

Like to mix art with your music? You’ll love concerts in the courtyard and free admission to the Cultural Arts Center, all on High Street, of course,on the first Fridays of the month.

Here’s a special treat. We know that there are more than enough activities to pack a weekend full in Olde Town alone, but if you can squeeze in the time, we recommend taking either the paddle-wheel ferry or the water taxi across the Elizabeth River to Norfolk. Visit Nauticus Marine Museum and the battleship Wisconsin if you can—Norfolk is full of great things to do—but our favorite thing to do is to catch a ride on the tour boat Victory Rover for a narrated trip out the Elizabeth River to visit the Atlantic Fleet, the largest collection of U.S. Navy ships docked at the world’s largest naval base, Naval Station Norfolk. Taking the tour will let you know what’s what. You’ll also pass the Norfolk shipping terminals and Norfolk Southern Railroad’s Pier 6 at Lamberts Point—the largest and fastest loading coal facility in the Northern Hemisphere.

WHERE TO EAT Breakfast Who wouldn’t recommend a restaurant named Yoolks on Us (yoolksonus.com) for breakfast? This Southern bistro, located on Washington Street just off High Street, not only has a great name, it also serves a great breakfast and does it all day. How could you go wrong? Okay, it also serves lunch and dinner. Whatever you order, make sure you’ve got grits on the side. Omelet and grits. Shrimp and grits. Fried eggs and grits. You get the picture.

Lunch and Dinner We just couldn’t decide. Olde Towne has too many good restaurants to pare it down to a couple. We love all of these. It just depends on the day of the week and what we’ve got a yen for. All of these places serve lunch as well as dinner. We suggest you stroll down High Street and follow your nose.

Café Europa (thecafeeuropa.com): For lunch, think mussels provençale, polenta with mushrooms and gorgonzola or shrimp Pernod. For dinner, imagine a medium rare steak fritte, shrimp puttanesca or lobster ravioli in a shrimp and brandy sauce.

Still Worldly Eclectic Tapas (stilleats.com): How about seared scallops with balsamic strawberry jam, salmon bacon and goat cheese crumbles or bison meatloaf with caramelized onion and port wine ketchup gravy? Just reading the menu boggles the mind. We just close our eyes and point.

Bier Garden (biergarden.com): We’re running out of steam. Let’s just say we love German food and you’ll find none finer than here. Bratwurst, rouladen, goulash. Sehr gut!

Want more? How about Gosport Tavern, Stellar Wine, and Lobscouser, which is apparently Norwegian for fixing food on a boat—how could we leave it out? And the same goes for Fish and Slips at Tidewater Marina. Just one more: Barons Pub with its famous burgers and beers. No, really, we’ve got to stop. Our advice is just arrive hungry.

u Lunch al fresco in Olde Towne.
