Page 8 - Queen Anne's County Visitor Guide

Queen Anne’s County is uniquely accessible by land, air, or bay. Just 11 miles from Annapolis, 40 miles from Washington D.C., and 70 miles from Philadelphia, once you get here...get outside and play! Our land is home to eight bicycle routes ranging from 5 – 59 miles. Get sun–kissed and embraced by the bay breeze while listening to the whispers of nature as you stroll along one of our two scenic waterfront- dotted pedestrian trails.
Discover the Queen Anne’s County countryside by touring our working landscapes to enjoy locally grown
and raised products at a road-side stand and farm.
The Bay Bridge Airport, a local county-operated facility, is located in Stevensville (Kent Island). Nearby airports include Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall (BWI) (20 miles), Ronald Reagan Washington National (40 miles), Dulles International Airport (60 miles), and Philadelphia International Airport (80 miles). Upon arrival, stay in Queen Anne’s County, a destination full
of beach fun...on the BAY! Stay in a desirable waterfront location, quaint bed and breakfast, historic inn, or boutique hotel. Whether you are vacationing with friends, spending time with relatives, or on a romantic get away, we guarantee great locations with incredible views.
Maritime history is a rich part of Queen Anne’s County heritage. Our marinas are filled with local charter boat captains whose families have been exploring our inlets
for generations. Book a fishing charter or guided trip.
Our captains will help you navigate the Bay while narrating stories of the regional history. Our inlets and rivers are host to nearly 20 public landings and ramps, 10 marinas, and
a variety of boat-accessible dining establishments. (See dining guide for listings.) Stand-up paddleboard, fish, crab, boat, hunt, water ski, kayak, or canoe...it’s not hard to find an opportunity to have fun on the water. Visit the unique wetlands of the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center (Grasonville), a 510 acre nature preserve for kayak rentals. It’s no wonder the maritime industry is so rich here, the Chesapeake Bay makes for an awesome playground!
