Back Creek
Back Creek is a sheltered anchorage tucked into Solomons Island, where the Patuxent River meets the Chesapeake Bay — one of the most storied sailing communities on the East Coast. You'll drop anchor in calm, protected water with the charming waterfront town just a dinghy ride away, putting you close to the Calvert Marine Museum and local seafood spots. It's a genuinely lovely spot, with long creek views and the kind of unhurried atmosphere that makes it easy to linger longer than planned.
