Annapolis | Home of Maryland’s BEST Blue Crabs! 🦀🌊

Nestled at the gateway to the Chesapeake Bay (North America’s largest estuary), Annapolis is Maryland’s oldest city—a historic sailing capital 🏴‍☠️ with 500+ miles of shoreline. Here’s why it’s unmissable: ⚓ Iconic Landmarks 1️⃣ U.S. Naval Academy "The West Point of the Sea"—alumni include President Jimmy Carter! Symbol of discipline & youth, with cadets in crisp uniforms everywhere. 2️⃣ Annapolis Yacht Club (Since 1883!) ⛵ 80% members own yachts/sailboats. Weekly races (watch elites train for the America’s Cup!). 🦀 CRAB-TASTIC! 🐄 Cantler’s Riverside Inn (Must-visit!) Pro Tip: Arrive before noon on weekdays to snag a waterside table! Signature Move: Steamed crabs dumped on brown paper + Old Bay seasoning (a magic mix of paprika, celery seed, mustard, and more!). My Pick: Fried soft-shell crab > crab cakes (controversial, I know 😜). 📍 458 Forest Beach Rd (20 mins from downtown, <1 hr from DC/Baltimore). Fun Fact: The Annapolis Crab Feast (Aug 5) is the world’s largest crab party since 1946! 🌿 VIBE CHECK Locals sail in for beers 🍺, work from yachts 💻, or paddle alongside ducks 🦆—zero stress. You’ll leave dreaming of a waterfront life... #Annapolis #NavalAcademy #ChesapeakeBay #BlueCrabHeaven #DMVfoodie
