Let us take you away for a moment: Picture a bay that stretches almost farther across than the eyes can see. A sea gull dives for a fish and a sailboat glides across the tiny waves. Now wiggle your toes in the sand. Feel the breeze on your face and smell the salty air. Ready to get away for real? Chesapeake Bay private beach vacation rentals deliver this kind of experience on a daily basis.
The famous Captain John Smith (remember Pocahontas?) explored this bay from 1607 to 1609, and numerous museums and monuments attest to the rich history. The Chesapeake, the largest estuary in the United States, also yields the delicious crabs and clams that have made Maryland synonymous with seafood.
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., all sit within a short drive.
