Spa Creek Walkabout to Eastport & Return by Water Taxi

This event will take us off the beaten track to experience a side of Annapolis most people never see. It's an easy walking tour around Spa Creek to Eastport that will open your eyes to the lifestyle which has made Annapolis a center of pleasant living for 300 years.

MEETUP AND PARKING

We'll meet in front of Maryland Hall which has free parking in the adjoining lots.

WALKABOUT ROUTE

Starting from Maryland Hall, our group will head towards Spa Creek and follow the shoreline to the 6th Street bridge which takes us over to Eastport. The streets generally end up at small waterfront parks, so there are many nice views along the way. The pace of life is peaceful, and it's hard to believe downtown Annapolis is just a few blocks away.

Eastport is a cool historic neighborhood with a variety of maritime businesses, restaurants, and charming streets situated between Spa Creek and Back Creek. We can stop for refreshments at Forward Brewing which is a cool beer garden restaurant on 4th Street before heading back.

Total walking distance should be around three miles depending on where we decide to go.

RETURN BY WATER TAXI

There is a convenient water taxi dock at the Chart House restaurant in Eastport where we can catch a return ride to our cars. The taxi goes all the way to Amos Garrett Park which is just two blocks from Maryland Hall where we started. It's not a long trip, but the water taxi is a fun way to get off our feet, relax, and enjoy the sights along Spa Creek with its many impressive yachts and homes.

The taxi fare to Amos Garrett Park is $7.00. Bring exact cash if you don't have the special app used by Watermark. Full details are available on the Annapolis water taxi website:
