Here’s our suggestions on how to spend the time:
Where to Stay
Together in One Space
Rent a spectacular home on the water so you can stay up late to watch favorite movies and cook your own Maryland Crab Feast.
Separate but Together
Let someone else take care of the little things, our quaint B&Bs have cozy rooms and grand breakfasts, or book a block of rooms at one of our stylish, full-service hotels.
Where to Eat
Cheers to Friendship!
Toast your reunion with a refreshing glass of something! Talbot County boasts many great spots for wine, beer, and spirits tastings, and maybe a little music.
Dig Into a Crab Feast
The Eastern Shore is all about eating Maryland’s Blue Crabs. Order a bushel for the table to share! Along with sides of corn-on-the-cob and Cole slaw, it’s a fun way to experience the bounty of the Bay. Not into cracking crabs? There are so many options for whatever type of meal that you are craving.
