Chesapeake BayMaryland waters reel in millions of tourists annually, and with good reason.

The come to swim, fish, sail, kayak - or to hunker down at crab festivals and clam bakes that Maryland is rightly famous for.

With more than 30 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline, Maryland's most popular beaches include those that appeal to the young, the young-at-heart, and families with kids -- like those at Ocean City, and Breezy Point Beach.

With even wider appeal for hikers and naturists, there are state park beaches like Point Lookout and Sandy Point State Park and, for nature truly in the wild -- Assateague Island National Seashore.

Heading to the shore just for the Maryland crab cakes? You can't beat Crisfield, the self-proclaimed "Crab Capital of the World."
