Maryland: Eastern Shore & Chesapeake Bay
The lure of the sea runs deep in Chesapeake Bay; a rising tide of maritime traditions, close-knit communities, distinctive cuisine, and protected seashores, marshes, and coastal islands, all of which make for a spectacular trip biking the Eastern shore.
The towns and villages of Maryland’s bay region have been home to generations of dedicated fishermen, craftspeople, and culinary artisans who provide a warm welcome to visitors. From the elegant 18th-century brick mansions to the weathered crab shacks by tidal ponds, you’ll experience the warm glow of daily life in a way only possible on bike and on foot. This active vacation features an exceptional bicycling landscape, delicious food, and warm and friendly people.
Tour Highlights
- Sail the eastern shores with Captain Ed aboard the skipjack HM Krentz
- Feast on the region’s famous seafood
- Ride through the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, a haven for more than 250 bird species, and learn about Harriet Tubman at the newly opened Underground Railroad State Park and Visitor Center
- Travel on the country’s oldest privately owned ferry (since 1760), across the Tred-Avon River between Oxford and Bellevue
- Cycle the quite country roads leading to the charming small towns of Oxford, St. Michaels, Rock Hall and Easton

Beautiful area of our country to bike . The route was mostly flat and very scenic. Great tours of Chesapeake area. Sailing adventure of the Bay was delightful. Our guides were very informed about the area . They went out of their way to make us all comfortable.
Maryland: Cycling the Chesapeake Bay
What a fantastic trip! Our tour leaders Mark and Barney took excellent care of us. They really worked with us to make sure we had a good comfortable riding experience. The rides, the food, the additional tours, and the hotels were all excellent and very enjoyable. It was wonderful to meet so many new friends from all over.
