Hang out at the dock. In season, crab at low tide. At low tide, enjoy the private small beach where the shallow drop-off makes it perfect for kids to play in the sand and water. Unlike the ocean beaches, our shore on the Bay is a natural living shore adjacent to the wetlands that provide breeding grounds and great diversity for fish, birds and other species that inhabit the beautiful Eastern shore. Depending on the wind and tide cycles, our low-tide shoreline varies from very small to a huge open sandy beach. It is great fun to wade out and watch the thousands of baby fish, net crabs in season and explore shallow bay. (You crab at low tide by simply walking out to the sea grasses with crabbing nets. Scoop them into the provided 5 gallon bucket)! As the tide rises, use the included four kayaks to explore the surrounding waters or rent the sunfish sailboat (additional cost). Unlike creeks, the open bay provides long stretches of shallow water ideal for kids, kayaking, windsurfing and kite surfing. Enjoy a cooling rinse in our refreshing outdoor shower.
Bring your bikes! Both St. Michaels and Tilghman Island are wonderful destination bike rides on large dedicated bike paths on Tilghman Island road. This area is well known for it flat and scenic biking.
