By Land
Located on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, Talbot County is situated southeast of Washington, D.C. It is only a 90-minute drive from Baltimore or D.C., via the 4.3-mile-long Chesapeake Bay Bridge. From the bridge, U.S. Route 50, the Eastern Shore’s main thoroughfare, runs directly through the heart of Talbot County.
By Water
With more than 600 miles of shoreline, Talbot County is a boater’s paradise. Not only does the western edge of the county touch the Chesapeake Bay, but five major rivers —the Wye, Miles, Tred Avon, Choptank, and Tuckahoe—either border or run through the county. Boatyards and marinas, to service your needs are plentiful.
By Air
The Easton/Newnam Field Airport (ESN), one of the busiest general aviation facilities in Maryland, is based in Talbot County. It provides access for aviators, corporate pilots and local businesses. Located just two miles north of downtown Easton, the airport was originally constructed by the military for use during World War II.
