Drive

Use US-50 from the Bay Bridge

Drivers from Baltimore, Washington, and Annapolis typically cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and continue east across Delmarva. Check Maryland 511 before committing to a summer arrival window.

Fly

Compare Salisbury with larger airports

Salisbury Regional Airport serves the Lower Shore with American Airlines and Breeze Airways. Baltimore, Washington-area, and Philadelphia airports may offer different schedules but leave a much longer drive to the beach.

Arrival

Park once before crossing the resort again

A 28th Street or Midtown hotel is several miles north of the Inlet. After check-in, leave the car in its assigned space and use the Beach Bus for the lower boardwalk, or keep the first meal within the surrounding blocks.
