Solomons Island

This is a beautiful place just off of the mouth of the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay and it is the home of thousands of sailboats as well as the very famous Tiki Bar! 

The Calvert Museum is located just behind the screwpile lighthouse, which was moved from the Bay to it's current location by the museum.  The museum also operates one of the old Chesapeake Buy-Boats, which is docked in front of the museum.  These were the "working boats" used by the "watermen" all over the Chesapeake Bay in the early 1900's.  They hold a special and significant place in the history of the Chesapeake.
