St. Marys, Maryland

Our travels have taken us to one of our favorite anchorages on the east coast, St. Marys City on the St. Mary’s River and a tributary of the Potomac River. 

St. Marys College from the River

This is a truly gorgeous spot with calm waters, fantastic scenery and entertainment.  The entertainment consists of long dinghy rides exploring this beautiful area and going ashore at St. Marys College to walk their lovely campus and tour the remnants of St. Marys City, the first settlement in Maryland, also the first state capitol dating back to 1635.  Much archaeological excavation has been done here and many of the original sites have been recreated.
