The Best Reasons to Take a Road Trip From the Delmarva Peninsula

The Delmarva Peninsula is a 170-mile stretch of land on the Eastern Shore. It’s surrounded by several bodies of water on three sides. These include the Chesapeake Bay, Delaware River, Delaware Bay, Atlantic Ocean, and the Elk River. With so much surrounding water, the maritime culture here is unmatched. However, the most unique aspect of this peninsula is that it’s a conglomerate of small towns of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Whether you call this unique peninsula home or are just visiting, take a couple of days to venture to the West for a road trip from the Delmarva Peninsula to St. Michaels.
