Maryland's Eastern Shore is readily accessible from the north via any number of routes out of eastern Pennsylvania and northern Delaware and from the east out of Delaware. The William Preston Lane Jr. Bridge, "the Bay Bridge," crosses the Chesapeake Bay northeast of Annapolis; its dual spans stretch 4.5 mi across.
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.
