Welcome To The Whitehaven Hotel
Eastern Shore Maryland
In 1995, the 19th century Whitehaven Hotel was saved from deterioration and decline through the cooperative efforts of local residents, the Maryland Historic trust and by those captivated by its charming location in a riverfront Eastern Shore village at the Whitehaven ferry, minutes from the Chesapeake Bay. The Hotel, now one of the last of its kind, provided lodging for travelers crossing the Wicomico by horse to Quantico, Salisbury and Princess Anne and by steamship to ports as far as Baltimore.
Local Activities
Stroll through “Room With A View”, the Hotel’s small shop filled with local treasures. Take a short ride on the three-car Whitehaven Ferry as it glides you across the Wicomico River that connects Wicomico and Somerset Counties. The Ferry, in operation since 1685, is the oldest continuously operating ferry in the US. Grab a bike out of the corn crib and enjoy a leisurely ride around the village or bring your own to enjoy miles of scenic byways. Two kayaks, paddles, and life vests are available for guests to use on our floating dock; don’t miss the opportunity to be one with the river and explore the beautiful tributaries. Take a walk and discover our native bird species and wildlife. Nearby restaurants include The Red Roost (a seasonal crab spot), Bullips bar on the Nanticoke is a favorite spot to watch the sunset and enjoy local food and drinks, while Boonies has casual cuisine. Walk the trails of Pemberton Historical Park. Visit the Salisbury Zoo or stroll through the Ward Museum and view extreme wood carving talent. Enjoy Award-Winning Wines at Bordeleau Winery or Layton’s Chance. If you are a beer enthusiast there are several breweries within an hour’s drive. Within 45 minutes are Cambridge which hosts the Harriett Tubman Museum and Blackwater Wildlife Refuge. Hop on the boat in Crisfield and visit Smith or Tangier Islands. Berlin, another close-by area, was voted The Coolest Small Town in America. Don’t forget Assateague and Chincoteague Islands and National Parks with beautiful beaches and wild ponies! There’s so much to do around here! What are you waiting for? Book your stay at Whitehaven and start exploring!
