The Chesapeake Bay is the largest inland body of water on the East coast. Since its settlement days, Maryland’s Eastern Shore has been a haven for seamen and their families. Captain John Smith said, “Heaven and earth never agreed better to frame a place for man’s habitation.” Today its snug harbors and cozy coves provide vast opportunity for boating, fishing, and vacationing. Waterman’s Crossing -- with its incomparable, picture-perfect views of Solitude, Edge, and Broad Creeks -- mirrors those pursuits and provides a restorative lifestyle.

CHESAPEAKE BAY ~ SOLITUDE CREEK
CHESAPEAKE BAY
The Chesapeake Bay is the largest inland body of water on the East coast. Since its settlement days, Maryland’s Eastern Shore has been a haven for seamen and their families. Captain John Smith said, “Heaven and earth never agreed better to frame a place for man’s habitation.” Today its snug harbors and cozy coves provide vast opportunity for boating, fishing, and vacationing. Waterman’s Crossing -- with its incomparable, picture-perfect views of Solitude, Edge, and Broad Creeks -- mirrors those pursuits and provides a restorative lifestyle.
BOATING ON BAYS ~ RIVERS ~ CREEKS
CHESAPEAKE BAY ~ A BOATING PARADISE
Truly some of the best cruising grounds on the entire Chesapeake Bay. In just moments from your own dock, you can explore quiet creeks with vistas that will inspire you to drop anchor and stay awhile. Even on a summer weekend, you may find yourself alone in Leadenham Creek, Upper Broad Creek, Elbert’s Cove, Grace Creek…. or aptly-named Solitude Creek. Nearby San Domingo Creek is another great spot with a public dock, known by local boaters as “the back door to St. Michaels,” where you can dock and walk into the village. nd when you’re ready to dine at a waterside restaurant, just take a 30-minute ride to your choice: Historic Oxford or the quintessential Chesapeake Port of Tilghman Island, where Knapps Narrows provides your gateway into the Chesapeake Bay itself. Slightly further exploration allows you to reach Cambridge and its Hyatt resort…or a secret “Old Bay” dining find just on up the scenic Choptank River.

The Romantic Life at Waterman’s Crossing

Feel the excitement of the real Eastern Shore come alive when now and then a Chesapeake waterman’s boat floats by in search of the day’s catch to bring to market!
Stop in awe as suddenly, seemingly from nowhere, a majestic sailboat catches your eye as it glides quietly past the pines out of Solitude Creek into Edge Creek, bound for nearby ports of call: Oxford or Tilghman Island.

Delight in an early evening aperitif on an outside deck -- or any room inside -- as a painterly sunset hovers over the horizon, no matter what the season.

Pick flowers from the perennial garden and grab a glass of pinot noir as you turn them into a bouquet in your reception wine room.
Take off in your own skiff to a nearby restaurant or ride to one of the many picturesque coves nearby, and drop anchor for a spell.

"Softly the evening came. The sun from the western horizon Like a magician extended his golden wand o'er the landscape; Trinkling vapors arose; and sky and water and forest seemed all on fire at the touch, and melted and mingled together." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
