Why This One Little Town Is Maryland’s Best Kept Secret

Located in southern Calvert County, you'll find the town of Solomons. This unique community located at the mouth of the Patuxent River is undoubtedly one of Maryland's spectacular gems. Read on to see why...

First of all, the views at Solomons are delightful.

Which is not surprising, because this town is mostly surrounded by water. That's why it's also known as Solomon's Island.

When you're not taking in the scenic views, you can visit the Drum Point Lighthouse, which is also a part of the educational and interesting Calvert Marine Museum.

Or if hunger strikes, visit one of the several waterside restaurants for some of the freshest seafood you've ever tasted.

Walk off your meal along the numerous serene piers...

...Or at the quirky Annemarie Sculpture Garden & Art Center.

If you're a fisherman, you'll find that Solomons is the perfect place to cast a line...

...Followed by watching the sunset over the Patuxent River.

Best of all, since this town is sort of in the middle of nowhere, there is little light pollution, which means you can see tons of magical stars.

For these reasons, Solomons is undeniably a Maryland gem that is often overlooked. If you ever want to experience a charming town on the water, look no further.
