Before heading for a month in Baltimore, we decided to see the eastern side of the Chesapeake with a relaxing few days in Rock Hall, MD.

An osprey nest going into Rock Hall. You can barely see the little heads popping up for tasty tidbits. These nests are very common on markers and buoys, but each one is a thrill. Rock Hall is just a wonderful town. We wouldn’t want to live there, but it is a fantastic place to visit. It is a small town with extremely friendly people, quaint shops, an upbeat civic pride, historic buildings and a laid back attitude.

We stayed at the Rock Hall Landing Marina. It is owned by two brothers and their wives. You couldn’t ask for nicer, more can-do people. The day we arrived, it was beastly hot. We were so excited to discover Rock Hall Landing Marina has a very nice pool. It was a wonderful experience.

Discovery number two was the Waterman’s Restaurant next door to the marina….home of the world’s best crab cakes. I am qualified to make this statement, as I consider myself to be an expert on crab cakes.

We launched one of our scooters for discovery number three…Rock Hall is perfect scooter land. It is just beautiful, quiet and serene with very few cars on the road. We enjoyed a trip out to a nature preserve. We then toured Chester Town….a very interesting and historic town.
