Maryland: lighthouses and fishing villages (United States)

Maryland is a region steeped in maritime and colonial history, with picturesque bays, historic lighthouses and charming fishing villages along its stunning, rugged Atlantic coastline. Famous for its seafaring traditions and cuisine based on fresh fish, it offers a variety of ways to explore, such as spending at least one night in one of Maryland’s grand historic hotels or heading out onto the Chesapeake Bay, where you can take a schooner trip, hire a kayak or try the ‘hook and cook’ fishing experience (where you cook your catch).
