We loved the Chesapeake Bay sunset view. Lots of places to walk and just soak in the fresh air. Very rural and green.

We traveled to Tilghman Island in the past and are looking forward to another relaxing week there. Time slows down, you get to enjoy good food and time with your family. For a small island, there are great restaurants in different price ranges.

Our son, daughter-in-law and two grandkids took us to Tilghman Island as part of our year long celebration of our 50th anniversary. It was a splendid weekend.

A wonderful little country store with farm fresh eggs, terrific applesmoked bacon and... More

Pretty view and maybe a little bird watching. We drove to the point to see the island and fortunately didn't plan to spend any real time on Tilghman Island. It's a very run down area with pockets of residential developments. It would have potential with some TLC.

Visit either to stay at one of the few hotels or as a quick diversion from a weekend in nearby St. Michael's. Not much to do around here, except to stare at the Chesapeake Bay or fish. Be aware that the land mass consists of fingers of earth, between which poke outlets of the bay, so getting from one to... More

Not somewhere that anyone should really head on purpose. Sort of a dumpy little town where a bunch of cranky people live. Stay in Easton, save the gas.

Tilghman Island seems to be more for the fisherman. It was good just to check it out since not far from St. Michael's. Decided to eat at Harrisons.

Drove down just to checkout this area. We had planned to bike down but glad we didn't. Nice view but little else to see or do. The area is a bit isolated with few restaurants.

We know the Bay well and enjoyed the ride down to Tilghman Island. However, there isn't much to see and do. The main event is Bay One Hundred Restaurant next to the bridge right before you go over to the Island. Have lightly fried oysters and sit and watch all the boats navigate Knapps Narrows.
