Sea breezes, seafood, and maritime history all define this region’s love of the ocean. Come for the crabbing, fishing, or views of Chesapeake Bay. Watch for whales and dolphins along the coast, or see the wild horses at Assateague Island National Seashore. The Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge is home to migrating ducks, swans, geese, and the endangered Delmarva fox squirrel. If you love the sea, you’ll love Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
