It was certainly a nice drive to see Tilghman Island, but it is very quiet and one shouldn't expect to find much there except the outdoors. More

Drove to the end of the road, checked out the water, drove back. Nothing much to see on a Sunday afternoon. More

During our recent trip to St. Michael's MD, my fiance and I drove over to Tilghman Island to explore their history. Since it was still the "off season" and this was an unplanned excursion, we did not have the first clue as to where we should start. We found Crawford's Nautical Books and, being passionate book lovers, stopped in. This... More

Great food and beautiful, but no shopping or night life! Stay in Easton or St. Michaels for that. Relaxing place to unwind. More

Right by the drawbridge, there are a couple of nice but casual restaurants offering fresh Chesapeake Bay fare. Here, I often sit and watch the drawbridge activity for quite some time. It's a fantastic place to sit and watch life go slowly by. The road out from St.Michael's is a treat. More

While my wife and I were spending a little time in Saint Michaels for our anniversary we decided to take a ride down here to see what all the hubbub was about. Yeah. It has Black Walnut Point with the frothing Chesapeake Bay and some interesting old houses in various states of disrepair but there really isn't much here that... More

The Tilghman Island area has multiple attractions. There is a nice bookstore in town (limited hours), restaurants, marina, etc. We very much enjoy staying in the Tilghman area (by boat), and also drive back by car to eat at Capt Buddy Harris' place, or either of the places by the drawbridge. Not a hopping area, but nice place to spend... More
