Shopping, Dining & Lodging in Chesapeake City

Go to: Detailed Merchant Listings, Descriptions, and Locations

People from all over the globe come to visit Chesapeake City. Maryland every year and discover its treasures. We are proud of our Victorian history and pioneer heritage, and work to preserve our Canal Town sense of place on the upper Chesapeake Bay. You'll find a little bit of everything here, from modern art to hand-crafted items and lovingly-preserved antiques uniquely displayed in a variety of interesting shops. Our restaurants offer a variety of delicious dishes to tempt the most discriminating palate, and each of our Bed and Breakfast inns pamper you with luxury and quiet comfort.

Take a boat ride to explore the C&D Canal aboard an authentic Chesapeake deadrise fishing vessel, The Miss Clare, or enjoy an ice cream cone while watching container ships and other vessels ply the canal's swift waters. Stroll our gardens, take a carriage ride--enjoy music in the park on summer Sundays. Don't forget to bring your camera...we're very photogenic. You can even sign up for a weekend photography workshop to brush up on your skills!
