The EASTERN SHORE is
that part of the Delmarva Peninsula (DELaware,
MARyland and
ViriginA)
that is flanked by the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay.
The "Lower Shore" refers to the southern half
of the Eastern Shore comprising six counties - 2 in Virginia and 4
in Maryland.
One could spend months on the Lower Shore and
still not be able to take in the historic sites, the rural
heritage, and the recreational activities of boating, fishing
going to the beaches - and of course - eating Eastern Shore Crabs
and seafood.

Life on the Lower Shore is slow paced (commonly
referred to as "laid back.") Most of the residents
live in small towns or rural areas.
The largest towns on the Lower Shore are
Cambridge, Salisbury, Ocean City and Pocomoke City. However the Lower
Shore of Maryland abounds with small, historic hamlets that
reflect the culture and history of the area.
