Meet your step-on tour guide at the Dorchester County Visitor Center in Cambridge, Maryland and travel through the countryside of Dorchester County to the fishing and crabbing community of Hoopers Island. See fields of wheat, corn, and soybeans, along with forests that are dominated by the Loblolly Pine tree. Listen as our professional tour guide narrates about the history of Dorchester County and discusses the biggest industries that keep the local economy going. When you go over the Narrows Ferry Bridge onto Middle Hoopers Island, you'll get a clear view of the Honga River on the east side, and the Chesapeake Bay on the west! |

 |
| Hop aboard the Sawyer,
a 52-foot authentic Chesapeake Bay-built charter boat. Ride from Hoopers
Island to Smith Island with Captain Dave Schauber and his crew. Smith
Island is the only inhabited island on the Chesapeake Bay that can't be
reached by car. Like Hoopers Island, almost everyone on Smith Island
either works on the water or has a job that is closely associated with
working on the water. Many of the people who live on the island have the
original dialect of the English settlers who arrived on the island in
the 1600s. The boat will dock at the Bayside Inn Restaurant, where a family-style meal awaits you. The meal includes crab balls, clam fritters, country-sliced ham, stewed tomatoes, corn pudding, cole slaw, macaroni salad, and much more! A slice of Smith Island cake will be served for dessert!
|
After lunch, you may want to take some time to
walk around the island and check out the scenery. You may want to pay a
visit to the Smith Island Cultural Center. Then, enjoy the return ride
to Hoopers Island. |
