Somerset County, Maryland
Down on Maryland’s Eastern Shore is Somerset County. It’s the state’s southernmost county, with plenty of waterfront along the Chesapeake Bay.
The county is home to Crisfield, known as the “Crab Capital of the World”. Seafood lovers will find fresh crabs and oysters here.
Somerset has a rich colonial history, with sites like the Teackle Mansion. The area’s marshlands and wildlife refuges make it a nice spot for birdwatchers. You can take a ferry to Smith Island, where time seems to stand still.
