Tilghman Island Travel Guide

Experience a small piece of paradise in the agreeable latitudes of Tilghman Island, the pearl of the Chesapeake Bay. Unspoiled. Authentic. Sprinkled with unexpected pleasures. All with an attitude that's noticeably relaxed.

Tilghman Island on  Maryland's Eastern Shore  is surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay.  The Island is separated from the mainland by Knapps Narrows and is easily accessed by drawbridge. It's a great stop if you are cruising the Chesapeake Bay.

Tilghman Islandis situated geographically in the mid Chesapeake Bay Region, minutes from historic St. Michaels, Oxford and Easton. The Island is close to Maryland and Delaware Beach resorts, and a leisurely drive from many major cities such as Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia.

Tilghman Island is a true working watermen's village with excellent fishing and fresh seafood. It's also home to the last commercial sailing fleet in North America, the skipjacks, which are on display at Dogwood Harbor.
