Havre de Grace, MD

Havre de Grace is a small Maryland city at the mouth of the Susquehanna River, where the river opens into the Chesapeake Bay. Its waterfront location gives the town much of its identity, from Concord Point Lighthouse to boating, seafood, and views across the water. Havre de Grace is also known for duck hunting and high-quality decoys, a tradition tied to the upper bay. It feels historic, scenic, and maritime, with a compact downtown and enough local texture to stand apart from ordinary commuter towns.
