Offering one of the most beautiful lighthouses in the state as well as mouthwatering seafood restaurants, you’re going to love a trip to Cambridge.
Cambridge is a cozy little city located along Choptank River.

If you love fishing, there are plenty of spots to cast a line. Bill Burton Fishing Pier State Park is a local favorite. Stand along the edge and spend a day reeling in dinner.
