Rock Hall is a quiet, out-of-the-way little town
on Chesapeake Bay with
a working community of Eastern Shore Watermen dating back to the 19th
century and a modern sailing community. It's a pleasant place to come for a
respite from the pressures and fast pace of modern America and an ideal place
for a sailing vacation. There is no public transportation to Rock Hall. You can
get here either by driving or by water.
