So many charming towns in Maryland, so little time. While the Old Line State boasts dozens of waterfront towns worth visiting, today we’re featuring one that’s little known but worth the trip. Full of history and scenic sights, be sure to put this spot on your must-visit list this spring.

When the weather gets warm, many Marylanders head to St. Michaels. But if you're looking for a quieter area that's filled with just as much charm, journey to the nearby town of Oxford.
This picturesque place is one of the oldest towns in Maryland, dating back to 1683. It's nestled on the river, offering sprawling water views.
