2 Best Sights in The Eastern Shore, Maryland

At the tip of the Eastern Neck peninsula, 8 mi south of Rock Hall, and at the mouth of the Chester River, this 2,285-acre park is superb. It's a prime place to spot migratory waterfowl, wild turkeys, Delmarva fox squirrels, and southern bald eagles, undeterred by the experimental power-generating solar panels and wind turbines installed nearby. Nearly 6 mi of roads and trails and an observation tower provide excellent vantage points.

This interesting place profiles the hard life on the Bay in absorbing detail, celebrating a Chesapeake way of life that is dying out. On display are exhibits on oystering and crabbing that include historical photos and local carvings, as well as preserved examples of the watermen's all-important boats and a reproduction of a waterborne shanty.
