Reservations
Bay Bridge-Tunnel and Maritime Museum Logistics
State park cabins and popular waterfront campsites in St. Michaels or Annapolis require reservations months in advance, typically via state portals. While the bay itself is open water, specific landings, museums, and ferries to Smith or Tangier Islands have separate ticketing systems and seasonal schedules. Always check the official Maryland or Virginia DNR sites for current fishing license requirements and ferry status.
