When you are in Marland you most likely have seen the Chesapeake Bay. But Each year Maryland puts on a seafood festival like no other right on the Chesapeake Bay. Specifically located at Sandy Point in Annapolis Maryland is where this seafood festival begins. Right at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge is Sandy Point State Park famous for its beach and views of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. What a way to spend a day on the bay enjoying the sand and the fresh bay air.
The Seafood is amazing and this festival is not to be missed when visiting Maryland. Oh and did I mention fresh steamed local Maryland crabs there is no better as you will see in this video.
