Solomons Island Maryland


Visiting Solomons Island

Solomons Island is a major boating center located at the mouth of the Patuxent River, in southern Calvert County, Maryland. 

The island is about an hour and a half drive from Washington DC or two hours from Baltimore.  As you approach the island, you'll cross the rather impressive looking Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge.  The bridge is a tall one, reaching 135 feet.  You'll get a nice view of Solomons as you cross.

Solomons is the home of the Calvert Marine Museum, a popular day trip destination, plus the Annmarie Garden Sculpture Park and the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory.

There are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from on the island, including the well-known Tiki Bar.
