Maryland's
Eastern Shore
Things To Do & See
Your
visit to Eastern Shore Maryland can be anything you want,
from total relaxation to a “Let’s see it all”
vacation. Cambridge, a short drive from our Chesapeake Bay
estate, is rich in maritime history. The Eastern Shore of Maryland
allows for everything from quaint historical tours to day
trips to St. Michael’s or to the beach in Ocean City.
You can also take to the water - fishing or exploring Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries in your own boat. Arrangements can
even be made to have a rental boat waiting for you
when you arrive!
Charter
fishing boats, champagne sunset cruises, light house tours and sail boat charters
are available for your enjoyment. Or you can go fishing and crabbing right in RCR's backyard
in a well stocked pond or off the dock of the bay.
Boats, canoes, kayaks and bikes can be rented locally.
There is a well stocked local grocery store on Hoopers Island (3 miles from our retreat) where people can get things they need.
Local grocery store / breakfast & sandwich shop /
hardware & fishing tackle store / internet cafe / gas station.
For bicycle and kayak rentals,

If you mention Percy Ransome's name, you will receive a free rental offer for a limited time. Please call Percy at 888-726-7662 for additional details.
Another suggestion is to drive to Hooper Island and stop off for dinner
and a beautiful sunset at the historic Old Salty's Restaurant. Old Salty's features fresh local seafood, prime cuts
of beef, homemade rolls and delicious desserts. Give them a call at 410-397-3752. Photos are displayed below.
No

And
don’t forget you can also spend hours roaming the 250
acres of our pristine farmland where wildlife abounds and
bald eagles fly free or travel minutes away down a country
road to the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge.
Susan Meredith, an authority on Harriet Tubman and the underground railroad, makes a presentation to a visiting Boy Scout troop on the role that the Cambridge area played in the freeing of slavery in America.
Susan also expounds on her family's American Indian heritage and brought
many examples of Indian artifacts often found in the area.
The Marti-Laine fun center is an excellent facility
to hold small gatherings of up to 40 people.
