Things to Do in Oxford, Maryland
Where to Dine, Explore, and Stay
From relaxed, party vibes with cocktails and live music, to a popular crab deck, Oxford’s waterfront restaurants offer the perfect perches to catch a sunset. You can take in more of the town’s history over dinner at a historic inn.
Oxford is located on the banks of the Tred Avon River, making this the perfect place to explore by water.
Local vendors will meet at your launch site with a rented paddleboard, kayak, or inflatable boat. Land lovers can rent bikes to explore the town on wheels. While you pedal, you can embark on The Oxford Museum’s audio tour of the town, which chronicles life from the 18th and 19th centuries and tells the story of founding father Robert Morris. It even includes a stop at a beloved bookstore, housed within an old bank, that specializes in mysteries, and a visit to the free Water’s Edge Museum, which celebrates the founding Black families of America through artwork.
For a quaint and quiet stay, Oxford is the perfect setting. Stay in the waterfront home of a signer of the Declaration of Independence and dine downstairs in front of a cozy fireplace. There’s even a quiet getaway just for adults.
