Chesapeake Beach is a lovely historic town located on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Located in Calvert County, Chesapeake Beach is a perfect place for a venture with your friends, family, or a solo trip. The town of Chesapeake Beach offers waterfront amenities, restaurants, water activities, resorts, accommodation options, and events galore.

Chesapeake Beach was once claimed to be the “Las Vegas of the Shore” in the late 19th century. A grand resort was planned to be built on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay, but was side-tracked when the Washington and Chesapeake Beach Railway Company was granted to building a railroad system through the state of Maryland. The Railway Company’s plans were halted, and never completed, but a resort town based on the railroad was created. In the late 1800’s Chesapeake Beach was home to many hotels, a race track, a casino, a boardwalk, and a beautiful shoreline for relaxation. The last train to run through Chesapeake Beach was during the Great Depression in 1935. Now, in tribute to the rail history, the old train stop has been transformed into a beautiful museum.

Because Chesapeake Beach is nestle on the shores of the Bay, it is a popular fishing destination. Breezy Point Marina and the Rod-N-Reel Marina at the Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa are great spots for fishing information. The town’s marinas both offer fishing charters, boat slips, tackle necessities, and are more than accommodating to all fishermen.

Looking for a date with the great outdoors? Try the Breezy Point Beach and Campground. The campground is located right next to the Breezy Point Marina. Operated by the Calvert County Department of Parks and Recreation, the Beach and Campground is home to a large swimming pool, beach swimming, and 80 campsites just steps from the water.

The Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa is a the perfect place for a little getaway. Local and travelers enjoy all the resort and spa has to offer year-round.
