Welcome to Annapolis, Maryland! Annapolis is known as the Sailing Capital of the World. A lesser known fact and to locals, Annapolis is known as a "drinking town with a sailing problem"! All kidding aside, you can't come to Annapolis without going out on the water. In Annapolis, all roads lead to the water. The Chesapeake Bay awaits you! There are many areas to explore once you leave port from historic Annapolis. You'll find the quaint, seaport towns of St. Michael's, Rock Hall, Solomons Island, Oxford & Tilgham Island or, if bigger cities appeal to you, Baltimore and her Inner Harbor await you.
If you prefer spending your time day sailing and spending some time docked in Annapolis, there is so much to see and do.
In the fall, the largest in the water boat shows in the world are held on successive weekends for sail and power enthusiasts respectively. There are also a number of boat shows in the spring.
Annapolis is not only a sailing town it is also a college town. The United States Naval Academy with its 4,000 midshipmen and St. John's College, the third oldest college behind Harvard and William and Mary, make their home here.
The Maryland State House, dating to 1772, is the oldest state capitol still in continuous legislative use and is the only state house ever to have served as the nation's capitol. The Old Senate Chamber has been restored to how it would have architecturally appeared in 1783-1784, when Congress received George Washington’s resignation as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, thereby affirming civilian control of the American military. The capital of Maryland was the country's capital when the Treaty of Paris, ending the Revolutionary War, was signed here. The capitol has the distinction of being topped by the largest wooden dome in the United States constructed without nails.
Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD are each a 45-minute drive away.
