Once on Tilghman you’ll be a long way from
everyday tensions and a short walk from
spectacular waterfront dining. Here, seafood is
treasured, sunsets are worshipped and time is
forgotten. Nothing compares to life on an island.
While things are laid back here, activity and
shopping is a short 12 minute drive on Route 33
to St. Michaels.
Come by boat. Come by car. Stay for a while.
We’ll make you feel like family.
