Live on the water's edge

Chesapeake Bay Annapolis River Boating Fishing Historic Commutes

Edgewater is exactly where you'd expect to find it -- on the water. The large CDP is surrounded on three sides by the South River and its bays and creeks. It is a suburb of Annapolis, located across the river roughly four miles from Downtown Annapolis. Like most towns on the Chesapeake Bay, life in Edgewater is all about the water -- from boating and sailing to swimming and fishing.

In addition to spending time at Woodland Beach or the Londontowne Marina, Edgewater residents can visit Historic London Town and Gardens, a colonial town founded in 1683. This park contains the William Brown House, built around 1760. The site's other buildings, Lord Mayor's Tenement and the Carpenter's Shop, are reconstructed on their original locations.
