Did you know that there is a brand new Calvert County Birding Trail that winds its way around Calvert County? This month, we'll be highlighting some of the stops along the trail including Kings Landing Park, located in Huntingtown. Along the shore of the Patuxent River, Kings Landing Park has a history stretching back to Captain John Smith’s exploration and earlier. Once an active farm and later a YMCA camp, it is now managed by Calvert County’s Natural Resources Division. Kayakers, canoeists and fishermen enjoy Kings Landing’s access to the river, nearby creeks and marshes. Hiking trails are open and beckon you and your dog for a jaunt. @VisitMaryland . . . #visitcalvert #calvertcounty #ChesapeakeBay #VisitMaryland #VisitMD #MDisFun #MDinFocus #travelmaryland #daytrip #weekendgetaway #funforfamilies #CatchOurDrift #SouthernMaryland #AlwaysInSeason #explorecalvert #Somd #calvertcountybirdingtrail #birding #calvertcountybirdtrail #birdwatching #birdingphotography #backyardbirding #birdinginmaryland #birdinglife #beginnerbirder 
Did you know that there is a brand new Calvert County Birding Trail that winds its way around Calvert County? This month, we'll be highlighting some of the stops along the trail. First up is Wetlands Overlook Park, in North Beach Maryland. Wetlands Overlook Park, located at 4030 11th Street, is a small nature park that serves as an attraction for those interested in observing the wildlife inhabitants of the wetlands and the migratory fowl which rest there during the flights up and down the Atlantic Seaboard. The park includes a pier and two gazebos for visitors to sit and relax while viewing and photographing the wildlife and wetlands. Restrooms are available at the small, air conditioned Visitor Center. Wetlands Overlook Park is open year-round from dawn to dusk. @VisitMaryland @northbeachmd . . . #visitcalvert #calvertcounty #ChesapeakeBay #VisitMaryland #VisitMD #MDisFun #MDinFocus #travelmaryland #daytrip #weekendgetaway #funforfamilies #CatchOurDrift #SouthernMaryland #AlwaysInSeason #explorecalvert #Somd #calvertcountybirdingtrail #birding #calvertcountybirdtrail #birdwatching #birdingphotography #backyardbirding #birdinginmaryland #birdinglife #beginnerbirder #northbeachmd 
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources has announced upcoming license-free fishing days on June 5 and June 12, giving the public the option to explore Maryland’s diverse and unique fishing experiences without needing a fishing license, trout stamp, or registration. On these days, any individual may catch and possess finfish in any tidal and nontidal waters of Maryland, as long as it’s for recreational purposes. All anglers must follow current size and catch limits found in the department’s fishing and crabbing guide. Grab a rod and reel and go fishing in Calvert County. @VisitMaryland . . . #visitcalvert #calvertcounty #ChesapeakeBay #VisitMaryland #VisitMD #MDisFun #MDinFocus #travelmaryland #daytrip #weekendgetaway #funforfamilies #CatchOurDrift #SouthernMaryland #AlwaysInSeason #explorecalvert #Somd #fishing #marylandnaturalresources #licensefreefishingdays #hutchinspond #fishmaryland #huntandfishmaryland #fishcalvert

It's #ThrowbackThursday and May is National Preservation Month. We are celebrating this month with a series of posts featuring Calvert County’s notable historic sites. Today’s featured area is the Town of North Beach. The Town of North Beach epitomizes the “land of pleasant living” with its seven-block waterfront, fishing pier and boardwalk. Platted in 1900, North Beach originally provided an ideal location for vacation cottages and bay watermen. Little by little, shops and entertainment venues such as “Rose's Musical Bar” popped up in town, making North Beach a great destination, then and now! @VisitMaryland . . . @northbeachmd (photo credit: from the collection of the Bayside History Museum) #visitcalvert #calvertcounty #ChesapeakeBay #VisitMaryland #VisitMD #MDisFun #MDinFocus #travelmaryland #daytrip #weekendgetaway #funforfamilies #CatchOurDrift #SouthernMaryland #AlwaysInSeason #explorecalvert #Somd #vintage #twinbeaches #northbeachmd #vintage #vintageimage 
May is National Preservation Month. We are celebrating with a series of posts featuring Calvert County’s notable historic sites. Today’s featured area is Solomons Island. Solomons Island was formerly known as Bourne’s Island (c.1680), Somervell’s Island (1740-1814) and Sandy Island (1827-1865). Early land records show that the island was owned by a number of individuals until 1865 when a tract of 80 acres was sold to Isaac Solomon. After the Civil War and the economic boom that followed, Solomons Island began to flourish due to the nearby harbor that provided a sheltered anchorage for sailing vessels bound up and down the Chesapeake, and the surge in the oyster industry, as Solomons Island became a center for oyster processing and the construction and repair of oystering vessels. The Lore Oyster House is, in fact, a standing tribute to one of the largest and most successful seafood packing companies in Southern Maryland. The Lore Oyster House, a national historic landmark, is currently closed to the public, but can be viewed from the outside at any time. @VisitMaryland . . .

To celebrate National Travel and Tourism Week in Calvert County in the month of May, we recognize the Town of North Beach as one of our county's anchor attractions. In this photo, Mayor Mike Benton displays the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners' proclamation of National Travel and Tourism Week at the Sunrise Garden in North Beach, Maryland. North Beach has much to offer residents and visitors alike. The boardwalk, lined with blossoming flower beds and dotted with park benches, is very popular among athletes and casual strollers, while the fishing pier is a popular spot for those seeking the catch of the day. You will find shopping opportunities for all budgets including antiques, fine arts, novelties and gifts, and there are great restaurants and bakeries in town that offer casual and fine dining. Wetlands Overlook Park is a wildlife refuge in tidal marshlands where native species make their homes, and seasonal migrants find a welcome place to rest. Or visit the Bayside History Museum to check out an extensive collection of memorabilia from the surrounding bayside communities. . . . @northbeachmd #visitcalvert #calvertcounty #ChesapeakeBay #VisitMaryland #VisitMD #MDisFun #MDinFocus #travelmaryland #daytrip #weekendgetaway #funforfamilies #CatchOurDrift #SouthernMaryland #AlwaysInSeason #explorecalvert #northbeachmaryland #northbeachmd #nbmaryland #twinbeaches #sunrisegarden #garden #westernshorechesapeake #NTTW
