Things To Do
SALT Waterfront Kitchen
A waterfront restaurant with seating that overlooks the Potomac River. It has a variety of options and, as an added benefit, is very close to the welcome party location!
Courtney's Seafood Restaurant
A family-owned and operated seafood restaurant serving fresh crab and rockfish caught daily in the Chesapeake Bay. While we haven't had a chance to try this restaurant ourselves, we've been told that it's a great place to experience local Maryland seafood at a hole-in-the-wall. It's also very close to the welcome party venue!
Pier450 - POV Restaurant
This is the location of the welcome party - can't get any closer than that! Serving American fare with an international twist, they source ingredients from local farms or their on-site garden. We love the crab balls and hush puppies--Southern Maryland classics!
Restaurants in nearby Lexington Park
Those staying at the hotel in Lexington Park have plenty of restaurants to choose from!
Calvert Cliffs State Park
We had a great hike here through the woods and down to the beach!
Point Lookout State Park
This state park at the southern tip of the peninsula has a light house and a number of points of interest from the Civil War.
Historic St. Mary's City
St. Mary's was the first European settlement in Maryland, and the 4th British settlement in America.
Patuxent River Naval Air Museum
We haven't been here ourselves, but if you want to access full dad-mode, we recommend giving the Naval Air Museum a try - it's very close to the hotel in Lexington Park.
