Visiting Chesapeake Beach MDChesapeake Beach, in Calvert County Maryland, was founded by the Washington and Chesapeake Bay Railway Company in 1894 as a resort destination for visitors from the Washington D.C. area. It's still a popular spot today, with a resort hotel, a fleet of charter fishing boats, a water park, beautiful views, beach access, and several large marinas nearby. Chesapeake Beach thrived as a destination resort during the early 1900's. The train station where early visitors arrived in Chesapeake Beach remains as a museum which recounts the history of the resort town.
The Chesapeake Bay Beach Resort and Spa was constructed on the Chesapeake Beach waterfront in 2004, adding to the town's popularity as a get away destination. |  |
