Just across the bridge from Annapolis, Eastport is an eclectic mix of charming homes
and gardens of long-time residents and relative newcomers, maritime and diverse
businesses, and good restaurants. It is situated on the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth
of the Severn River and is surrounded by Back and Spa Creeks on each side. It is the
earthier more diverse side of Annapolis, Maryland's state capital.
Residents here enjoy walking to nearby restaurants and downtown Annapolis, boating
on the Chesapeake and its tributaries, and living within an hour to Washington, DC
and Baltimore, MD. There's a lot of history here and plenty to see and do.
