The classic small town of Snow Hill, Maryland, is home to a peaceful river, charming historic buildings, and a tight-knit community. A short distance away, Ocean City entices with its vibrant boardwalk and gorgeous beaches.
Where I grew up in Snow Hill, the 18th-century architecture exudes a historic beauty that begs you to stroll through its charming alleys lined with colonial residences. The town’s rich past is showcased by the Julia A. Purnell Museum, which offers an enthralling look into the past. Whether you are taking boat trips or just lounging on the riverbank, the Pocomoke River, which meanders through Snow Hill, provides a calm haven. Experience the warmth and camaraderie of the town’s agricultural origins during local festivals like the Worcester County Fair and the Blessing of the Combines. (see video below)
Change gears and head to Ocean City, where the beautiful beaches and bustling boardwalk await. Explore the vast beaches, each providing an own coastal experience, and feel the embrace of the sun and the wind from the ocean. Enjoy traditional cuisine, souvenir shopping, and the excitement of amusement parks like Jolly Roger at the Pier on Ocean City’s famous boardwalk. The magnificent Ocean Gateway route, which showcases the varied landscapes of the Eastern Shore, captures the perfect transition from the peace and quiet of Snow Hill to the bustle of Ocean City.
