Solomons Island is a neat place that has good shopping and every restaurant has a great view, however it is very expensive. If you can afford to live here, then you also have to take into consideration the commute to Pax River. You have to go over a 2 land bridge that can take an hour.

We love the Solomons Island, Maryland... a quiet waterfront fishing village located just 55 minutes south of the Washington beltway where the Patuxent River meets the Chesapeake Bay.
- Stroll the Riverwalk
- Charter a boat for a day of Chesapeake fishing or charter a sailing boat for a luxury cruise.
- Hop a jet ski, go kayaking, or rent a boat, and try your luck catching dinner
- Explore fossils from millions of years ago and tour the Drum Point Lighthouse at the Calvert Marine Museum.
- Enjoy fine waterfront dining, unique antique and gift shops, quaint bed and breakfasts and fine hotels.

Solomons Island is open all year round is a great place from which to explore Calvert County or the surrounding Southern Maryland region. You will find Solomons a place of uncommon charm and unspoiled beauty.
