Allison Blake explores Chesapeake Bay—distinctive lodgings, aquatic adventures, and tucked-away towns.

A resident of both Maryland and Virginia for more than 20 years, Blake's intimate knowledge of the area and her explorations of much of the thousands of miles of shoreline and countryside give her the tools to offer again what Travel + Leisure has called the best book on the area.

As in each Explorer's Great Destinations series guidebook, you'll find important contact information for lodging, dining, shopping, and recreational activities, transportation details, a calendar of events, special "If Time Is Short" options, local history, over 60 photos and maps, and essential information for residents. Find out why the Explorer's Great Destinations series is "consistently rated the best guides to the regions covered. Readable, tasteful, appealingly designed," according to National Geographic Traveler. No visitor should be without this indispensable guidebook.
