A cozy time capsule of a city on the Eastern Shore

Small Town Historic Coastal River Sports Parks Golf Boating

Easton is a small and fairly secluded city on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, tucked between the Choptank River and several inlets leading to Chesapeake Bay. Tracing its history back over three centuries, the community maintains a timeless atmosphere, with vintage red brick buildings populating the picturesque Downtown area as cafes, specialty shops, and other locally-owned storefront businesses.

Numerous parks and golf courses dot the landscape, and the easy access to the water provides great opportunities for boating and fishing. The community is positioned roughly seventy miles from both Washington and Baltimore, putting you within easy day-trip distance of the nation’s capital as well as Maryland’s biggest city.
