For a smaller state, Maryland sure does have a lot of beautiful towns. The following spots around the Old Line State are breathtaking in person so check them out and be sure to bring your camera!
- Ocean City

- Oakland
Facebook / A Great Small Town This mountain town is just about as far west as you can go in Maryland. It’s particularly picturesque during autumn. Be sure to check out the other area attractions like Swallow Falls State Park and Deep Creek Lake.
- Oldtown
Flickr / Jasperdo Oldtown is another western Maryland gem that serves up some serious scenery. This spot along the C & O Canal is also perfectly quiet.
- Solomons Island
Flickr / BKL Water views at every turn makes Solomons Island a splendid place to spend some time. Be sure to stay until sunset to heighten the sights.
- Chesapeake City
Facebook / Chesapeake City Water Tours Chesapeake City is located on the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal so it’s not uncommon to spot ships floating by. The bridge provides a perfect backdrop to this charming spot.
6, Berlin

- Thurmont
Flickr / TrailVoice Thurmont is known as the gateway to the mountains for obvious reasons. There are so many spots to hike around this town, the possibilities (and scenery) are endless.
- Tilghman Island
Flickr / Janice Waltzer Tilghman Island is especially neat because of its rocky edges that many people use as the perfect fishing spot. Bay sunsets don’t get much better than this.
- Kent Island
Flickr / Craig Fildes Kent Island has picture perfect views of the Bay Bridge that are beyond stunning. This place is perfect for spending a summer weekend.
- Hoopersville
Flickr / Chesapeake Bay Program Take Hoopersville Road all the way to the end of the island and you’ll witness gorgeous water views almost the entire way. The scenery is top notch, and end it all with a trip to Old Salty’s restaurant.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so tell us, which Maryland towns do YOU think are the most beautiful?
