Join us on a road trip around Chesapeake Bay, a region of the U.S. teeming with history, culture, and natural beauty surrounded by Bay waters. This book is designed to make your journey one you won’t forget with colorful photographs, detailed maps of the 36 iconic harbor towns and cities, and a distance chart that tells you how far everything is from everything else. Make it a major trip and circumnavigate the Bay, or take shorter hops for a weekend getaway. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge (Annapolis MD → Kent Island MD) and the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel Bridge (Cape Charles VA → Tidewater VA) provide options to explore both sides of the Bay.
