Looking for a unique day trip destination in Maryland? Whether you live in Baltimore, Washington D.C., or anywhere in between, Maryland’s eastern shore feels like a true retreat. And while we love destinations like Assateague Island and St. Michael’s, you don’t need to drive far for a fun-filled day of adventure.

Just past the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, also known as the William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial Bay Bridge, you will find the small island community of Kent Island. The largest island in the Chesapeake Bay, Kent Island is a popular destination for fishing, but visitors also enjoy perusing the shops within the Stevensville Historic District, seeing the historic Stevensville Train Depot, and soaking in island views at Terrapin Nature Park and Matapeake Park.
