Cruising Into Town
presented by
Plan your Trip Today Bike share program and trolley. Sailors who tire of walking or want to travel farther afield may use Annapolis’s two-year-old bikeshare program for $1 for 15-minute intervals or by purchasing a monthly plan for $4.99 (click to ridepace.com/annapolis to learn more). Visitors may also enjoy the free Circulator Trolley, which goes up Main Street and out West Street to Park Place and back. The Circulator operates Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (find more at annapolisparking.com at the “circulator” link). Culture. While walking around Annapolis, you will find music, art galleries and openings (don’t miss the Maryland Federation of Art’s Circle Gallery), neat boutiques, festivals (First Sundays on West Street are a favorite), and Annapolis Maritime Museum. There’s a distinct “vibe” in Annapolis—lawmakers’ rubbing elbows at the bar, Midshipmen in
www.VisitAnnapolis.org the cafés, hipsters making music uptown, intellectuals at St. John’s College playing croquet on the lawn, and of course, sailors eager to throw off their lines in all seasons.
Sunset. If you want to know when Annapolis really shines, see our capital city from the water as the sun sets. All of us who sail and play on the water, from cruisers to racing sailors, from guests on the Woodwind Schooners to those on the Harbor Queen or water taxis, from Naval Academy Midshipmen to kayakers: we all know that to watch the sun set over the city from the harbor is spectacular, every time. #
City Dock and Ego Alley. The Susan C. Campbell Park on City Dock and walkway along Ego Alley aren’t just for tourists. Come to Annapolis on a summer Tuesday evening, when the Naval Academy band plays. You’ll see dinghy sailors from Severn Sailing Association racing in the harbor, standup paddleboarders with East ##Photo by Susan Hale/ Chesapeake Scenes Photography of Maui paddling by, a sailor showing off by tacking down Ego Alley, and locals sipping Painkillers at Pusser’s or admiring a tall ship. In all seasons, City Dock and Ego Alley bring visitors and residents together by the water… for free.
