What to do in Chesapeake Bay
Made up of approximately 30 cities and towns between Maryland and Virginia, the Chesapeake Bay has somewhat of a split personality that is literally bridged together by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, a 20-mile engineering wonder that connects the laidback Eastern Shore with the rapidly developing western shore. Visit the historic maritime cities of Annapolis and Baltimore, or relax in a local fishing village on Smith Island, famous for its10-layer cake and lack of cars. Ties to the water are strong along the bay, with lighthouse tours, sailing excursions, and eco-tours of the fresh, brackish, and saltwater habitats being high on the list of must-dos. Sampling the fruits of the bay is recommended as well; world famous blue crabs and oysters are found in abundance on Chesapeake-area menus.

I have always taken my kids and now grandkids to the Jersey Shore. I saw some pretty hoes on the chesapeake, and once before tried something differenting renting a house in DE which claimed waterfront, but got burned bigtime... sand and river/water base was sludge/mud, bugs and mosquitos horrible, the water was a filty dirty brown ... horrible. Since I want my children to enjoy the water and beach, is water clean/clear? Is beach rocky/sandy? Is water cold in July/August, and are there activities that would help keep kids happy? They are 7 and 8. THanks a bunch. Linda

is there a beach on the bay in virginia where my husband and I can bring our dog, thats not too crowded? We are looking for less crowds because even on dog freindly beaches some people are not too happy if you bring a dog.
