Solomons, MD

Solomons, commonly known as Solomons Island, sits at the southern tip of Calvert County where the Patuxent River meets the Chesapeake Bay. Life here naturally revolves around the water, with quiet residential streets winding past sheltered marinas full of sailboats and local docks. It has a relaxed, small-town pace that draws in boaters, retirees, and commuters heading across the bridge to the Patuxent River Naval Air Station.
