Hotels in St. Michaels

Along the Miles River, maritime heritage comes alive at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum where working shipwrights still practice traditional boat building. The town's colonial-era streets lead to boutiques housed in buildings that have witnessed centuries of seafaring commerce. Take a sailing excursion on a historic skipjack, the traditional oyster-harvesting vessel that once defined the bay's economy. At waterfront restaurants, blue crabs arrive fresh from local watermen who've worked these waters for generations. St. Michaels Winery offers tastings in a converted mill, while the town museum reveals how this 'town that fooled the British' earned its Revolutionary War nickname. Church Cove Park provides peaceful water views where ospreys dive for dinner with remarkable precision.
