About Us
Wake up to a beautiful sunrise…or sleep in, wiggle your toes in the sand, read a book or spend an afternoon simply taking in the sights and sounds of the water then sidle up to an evening bonfire.
Our Story
Where It All Began
“In love with Scotland, Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay.”
Peggy Binzel
In the Spotlight
History of the Area
The fourth oldest English settlement in the US, the area is rich in history. St. Mary’s City, the capital of Maryland for 64 years until 1694 is 10 miles away. Less than two miles away is beautiful Point Lookout State Park. Built as a resort hotel just prior to the Civil War, Pt. Lookout ultimately became a Union prisoner-of-war camp for captured confederates. The British landed here in the War of 1812. Then home to a different kind of war later in the 19th century – the oyster wars between pirates and legal oystermen in Maryland and Virginia.
Today, the focus is on more peaceful activities like farming, fishing, boating and water activities. Oysters are once more booming from a combination of recovery efforts and oyster farming, helping to filter and preserve the Chesapeake Bay.

You never know what you might catch while fishing off the beach here at Scotland Yards. The Pompano is a fish you see typically caught in Florida.
Has anyone else every seen this old pirate ship sail by while on vacation here???
Oh! I hope to! Wonder where it docks?
Is that the French ship which was supposed to be hosting an event (now cancelled) this weekend?
