St. Michaels has the feel of a New England coastal town.
There’s much to explore in this section of the Eastern Shore, and it comes in small, digestible bites. This is still farm country, punctuated by wealthy estates. Nature has carved it up into fingers of land stretching out into the bay, interlaced with fingers
of water stretching inland. Its many small roads are largely uncrowded, and they lead to a half-dozen or so small towns. All are worth a look.
Just north of Easton, Wye Mills has an old grain mill still in operation that’s open most days to tourists. The mill has a worked- in look with exhibits and a museum store that sells small bags of flour, corn meal and grits milled from local grains, most of them organically grown.
To the southwest on the Tred Avon River is one of the most bucolic towns on the East Coast. Oxford is a Colonial port that dates back to the 1660s. It has one elongated street that stretches out into the water, populated on either side with lovely older homes and a few shops. It ends at the Robert Morris Inn, a good place to have a drink and a bite before leaving town.
There’s also a small ferry in Oxford that connects seasonally across the Tred Avon to Bellevue on the region’s other major peninsula, which is home to St. Michaels and Tilghman Island. St. Michaels is the region’s tourist magnet, reminding one
of those summer destination towns along Cape Cod or on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. It has one main business street with lots of places to eat and shop. Don’t miss Chesapeake Bay Outfitters, an upscale, indispensable store that stocks clothes, books, puzzles and accessories.
The town also has a busy harbor that offers boat rentals and sailboat rides. It’s
