Solomons Island
Solomons Island & St. Mary's County
Visiting St. Mary’s County can feel like walking into the past. Today, Maryland’s oldest county blends a vibrant economy – it’s the states fastest growing region in terms of technology related jobs – with its rural past, giving the area a unique character as well as a high quality of life. History and nature, traditional life ways and fast paced recreation, great seafood and cozy cottage and inns await you here in St. Mary’s County. To see how life really was in St. Mary’s, a visit to the Historic St. Mary’s City is a must for any traveler. Stop in for a visit with the mistress of Godiah Spray Tobacco Plantation or explore the Woodland Indian Hamlet.

A trip to Solomons Island is something that every visitor to the area must do. The island is connected to land by a bridge so short that if you blink, you'll miss it, but you'll still feel surrounded by water. A walk through town will take you past sailboats and charter fishing boats, as well as watermen's homes, the century-old Drum Point Lighthouse, and Solomons's wide public pier, the place to see beautiful sunsets over the Patuxent.
Top off any visit by sampling the Bay’s bounty at one of St. Mary's finest—and friendliest waterfront eateries or at one of the many festivals held throughout the year that celebrate the food and culture of this special place where time meets tide.
