The gentle terrain make for a relaxed warm-up as we head south towards St. Michaels, one of the Eastern Shore’s most iconic waterfront towns including St. Michaels. A ride to Tilghman Island welcomes us with its working watermen’s village, oyster boats, and rich maritime traditions.

In Oxford, we board a ferry to Bellevue, where we’ll board the historic Oxford-Bellevue Ferry for a scenic crossing of the Tred Avon River. Arriving ashore, we indulge in a classic Maryland crab feast, savoring fresh seafood, Old Bay seasoning, and local craft spirits at a local gem.
