Request NewsletterDiscover Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, Maryland — a destination where rich American history meets coastal charm, waterfront views and a lively modern culture. Known as America's Sailing Capital, this corner of the Chesapeake Bay invites you to explore at your own pace, whether you are planning a relaxed weekend escape or a longer adventure across 500 miles of shoreline.
At the heart of it all sits historic Annapolis, home to the Maryland State House and the United States Naval Academy. Wander the walkable Historic District, stroll through colonial streets and uncover America's revolutionary story at landmarks such as the William Paca House & Garden, the Museum of Historic Annapolis and the Hogshead Trades Museum.

Beyond the Historic District, the destination opens up to even more. Sail the Chesapeake Bay, enjoy outdoor recreation at Sandy Point State Park, take in the entertainment at Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland, or browse the shops and breweries around Arundel Mills. Foodies will savour the flavours of the Bay, from fresh seafood and crab feasts to locally owned cafés and waterfront dock bars.
The events calendar runs all year round, with sailboat shows, music and songwriter festivals, arts month, seafood celebrations, the Renaissance Festival, heritage parades and the famous Blue Angels flyovers during Commissioning Week.
