There is a lot to love about Maryland, from its Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay coastlines to its urbanized metropolises with dramatic landscapes. In the capital Annapolis, you can travel back in time while breezing through the quaint historic district filled with period houses and historic landmarks. Check out the Maryland State House and St. Anne’s Episcopal Church. If you are a foodie on a gastronomic adventure, be sure to swing by Baltimore and sample its must-try crab shacks. For bookworms, a visit to George Peabody Library should be on your itinerary. On a different note, sandy shores, a scenic boardwalk, and family-friendly amusement parks lure tourists to Ocean City. If you long for some peace and quiet after exploring the top tourist attractions of the state, browse through this list of the best secluded cabins in Maryland, USA.
