HELLO JUNE 🌿

There’s something special about June on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

Hydrangeas begin to bloom, waterfront evenings stretch a little longer, and life slows down just enough to savor the season.

From historic homes and quiet docks to farmers markets and sunset cruises — this is the time of year that reminds people why they fall in love with the Shore.

What’s your favorite part of summer here?

There is nothing quite like the sound of powerboats roaring across the Choptank to signal the start of summer. 🚤☀️

The Cambridge Classic PowerBoat Races on May 23 are one of those long-standing Eastern Shore traditions that locals look forward to all year. The energy along the waterfront is incredible — boats flying across the river, families gathered on docks and lawns, restaurants buzzing, and that unmistakable sense that boating season has officially arrived.

Events like this are part of what makes Cambridge so special. This is a town built around the water — from its working maritime roots to its vibrant yacht culture today. When clients ask me what waterfront living here truly feels like, I tell them to picture a day like race day: friends pulling up by boat, sunset over the Choptank, and a front-row seat to the action right from your own pier.

Cambridge offers everything from historic homes near the downtown marina to expansive waterfront estates just outside town — each with direct access to the kind of lifestyle that days like this represent.

If you’re coming into town for the races and find yourself imagining what it would be like to live on the water full-time, I’m always happy to share what’s available — and what makes each stretch of shoreline unique.

Summer on the Eastern Shore starts here. 🌊

On May 23, Chestertown does something truly special — it turns back the clock. 🇺🇸⚓

The Chestertown Tea Party Festival is one of the most unique celebrations on the Eastern Shore, commemorating the town’s bold stand in 1774 when local patriots responded to British taxation by staging their own “tea party” in the Chester River.

For one weekend, history comes alive. You’ll see colonial reenactors marching through town, tall ships along the waterfront, live music, local vendors, and — of course — the dramatic reenactment of tea being tossed overboard. It’s immersive, festive, and a powerful reminder of the deep Revolutionary roots that shape so many of our waterfront communities.

History, community, and life on the water — that’s the Eastern Shore at its finest.
