REGIONAL SNAPSHOT
EASTERN SHORE

Enjoy Life at a Slower Pace
Opportunities to refresh, recharge and unwind among nature abound on the Eastern Shore,
a favorite among second-home buyers and those seeking a quieter life year-round. Located
along the eastern side of the Chesapeake Bay and home to the popular beach destination of
Ocean City, the Eastern Shore offers so much to discover and explore.
Though largely rural, the area has one city – Salisbury – and numerous quaint towns offering an
array of charming shops, restaurants, bed-and-breakfasts and historic sites. Stop in Historic
Chesapeake City, which is listed on the National and Maryland Historic Registries, and browse
the shops, savor authentic Maryland crab cakes at a local eatery or visit the Canal Museum.
Book a table at the Bartlett Pear Inn in Easton – named one of the 100 Very Best Restaurants
by Washingtonian magazine – and enjoy numerous events like the annual WineFest in
St. Michaels each spring. Exploring the picturesque waterfront towns of the Maryland Eastern
Shore is a great way to spend a weekend.
When you are ready for some fun in the sun, head to Ocean City. Every year, thousands of visitors
flock to this resort town for sand, surf, food, fun and nightlife. Spend the day at the beach, then
stroll the world-famous Boardwalk, sample some salt-water taffy and ride the ferris wheel. You
are sure to see why Ocean City has been a beloved destination for generations.
