Happily, there are many wonderful waterfront hotels and coastal cottages in Maryland that put guests right along the lovely shoreline:

  • Ocean City Beach. With 10 miles of spectacular shoreline, a public promenade, and beautiful boardwalk (that has its very own Ferris wheel), Ocean City Beach offers visitors a classic beach experience. You'll feel like a true vacationer while at Ocean City Beach, as its endless shores and nostalgic seaside attractions are delightfully postcard-perfect.

  • Deal Island. One of our favorite places for a waterfront getaway in Maryland, Deal Island has tons of accommodations, including this charming coastal cottage we found on VRBO. This waterfront cottage is 960 square feet. With one bedroom and one bathroom, it can sleep up to four guests. What it lacks in size it more than makes up for in sweeping, near-endless views of the waterfront!

In fact, St. Michaels makes for an excellent shopping trip destination. And, after you've worked up an appetite, you can enjoy the local offerings from the town's many cafes, restaurants, and dessert shops.
