🇺🇸 East Coast Day Trip | DMV’s Go-To Crab Paradise! 🦀🏖️

Whenever I crave seafood or just need a quick escape, I head to Annapolis – Maryland’s charming capital, just an hour from DC. It’s a totally different vibe: a cozy, historic waterfront town with sailboats, naval vibes, and delicious eats! ⛵️ What could be better than a sunny day filled with blue crabs, oysters, crab cakes, and ice cream? Plus, you might even spot sharp-looking midshipmen from the Naval Academy in their crisp white uniforms! 👨‍✈️👩‍✈️ 🦀 Mike’s Restaurant & Crabhouse A bit outside downtown, but THE spot for blue crabs! Perfect for groups. Maryland’s Old Bay-seasoned crabs are a true American classic. 🍲 McGarvey’s Right in the heart of town – a classic seafood joint with a bit of everything. Don’t miss the Cream of Crab Soup! You can even do half-and-half with another soup. ☕ Rise Up Coffee (inside the market) A solid Mid-Atlantic chain – great coffee to keep you going! 🍦 Annapolis Ice Cream Company Always a line (for good reason!) – tons of creative flavors + clean restrooms 🚽😂 ⚠️ Wild Country Seafood Their oysters are famously plump and fresh, but I once found moving parasites in the bowl… so proceed with caution. Still exploring and finding new gems! #Annapolis #Maryland #DMV #USATravel #SeafoodLover #CrabFeast #BlueCrab #DayTrip #StudyAbroadLife #WeekendVibes 🦀📸
