Eastern Shore destinations?

May 1, 2009 6:51 PM

Can you recommend a nice/interesting place for a weekend away on Maryland's Eastern Shore or thereabouts?

Especially interested in gay-friendly accommodations.

Rehoboth Beach over in Delaware was always purported to be gay-friendly when I was growing up (late 80s, early 90s), but I don't know whether that's still the case or not. Chincoteague and Assateague are both appealing if you like a sort of quiet beachtown vibe, but I can't speak to their same-sex accommodations.

Rehoboth, Delaware is just above Ocean City, Md. Google gay friendly places..

Rehoboth is still very gay-friendly. It is in no way quiet or peaceful, though, if that's important to you :)

Thanks but I should have mentioned that we've been to Rehoboth a lot. I'm looking for something different. It doesn't have to be a gay "destination," just an interesting town.

Berin, MD. Cute, small town, tasty food places, nice local shopping. Leans towards the artsy, if you are into plays and music performances.

Also, I do not know if you are into vintage clothing or antiques, but if you are, I can recommend a few places in random towns within a 30 minute drive of Berlin and Rehoboth, as well. Let me know if that is appealing at all.

8dot3, absolutely, absolutely.
Especially mid-century nonsense or deco. That's just what we are looking for.
