A vast bay on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the US. You can find over 300 species of fish, shellfish and crabs as well as ospreys, peregrine falcons and bald eagles here. The waters are also an important nursery area for sharks on the east coast – hammerhead sharks, basking sharks and tiger sharks often visit. Dolphins and whales can be seen here too. It's a paradise for nature lovers.

This refuge was set up as early as 1933 to protect birds that migrate along the Atlantic Flyway migration highway. The area covers over 28,000 acres (11,330 ha) of important habitats: wetlands, fields and forests. The Blackwater River flows through the park. It's named after its tea-like color. The water darkens as it drains through peat soil and picks up tannins.

I recommend, if you are passing through, to plan a visit to the visitor centre.
