If you’re planning a summer getaway to Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Rock Hall deserves a top spot on your list. Tucked along the Chesapeake Bay, Rock Hall is a charming waterfront town packed with plenty of things to do, small-town charm, and postcard-worthy views. Whether you’re craving fresh seafood, coastal adventures, or relaxing moments on the water, Rock Hall delivers. The team at Osprey Point is here to help you craft the perfect summer bucket list in Rock Hall.
Cruise the Chesapeake Bay
Summer and boating go hand in hand here. Whether you’re an experienced sailor or a casual cruiser, exploring the Chesapeake by boat is a must. Rock Hall is known as the “Pearl of the Chesapeake” for a good reason—calm waters, scenic coastlines, and vibrant sunsets make every voyage memorable. You can charter a sail, book a fishing excursion, or bring your own boat and dock at one of our two marinas at Osprey Point. Rock Hall has more boat slips than residents, so your next boating adventure is easy to find.
Feast on Local Seafood
No Rock Hall summer bucket list is complete without diving into the local flavors. Stop by Waterman’s Crab House for a classic crab feast or enjoy farm-to-table fare and local wine at the restaurant at Osprey Point. From fresh oysters to soft-shell crabs, summer is the peak season for Chesapeake Bay seafood, and you don’t have to go far to find a delicious feast.
Hit the Beach
Looking to soak up some sun? Head to Rock Hall Beach. Known locally as Ferry Park, this is a quaint public spot with gentle waves, picnic tables, and great sunset views. It’s the perfect place to cool off after a morning of exploring. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy a full day out on the sand.
Pedal Through Town
Rock Hall’s flat terrain and scenic roads make it perfect for a leisurely bike ride. Cruise past marinas, nature preserves, and charming boutiques. Stop into shops like Hickory Stick for local gifts, or grab a cone at Get The Scoop. The Rock Hall Loop is a 3.2-mile trail perfect for biking.
Paddle and Explore
Kayaking or paddleboarding in the nearby coves and creeks offers a peaceful way to connect with nature. Watch for herons, osprey, and other local wildlife as you drift through serene waters. Rentals are available nearby, but Osprey Point guests can check out paddleboards and kayaks on-site.
