Family getaway
Our family wanted to get away and experience Smith Island and had a great stay at Pauline’s Cottage. You must get the crabcake from Drum Point market (they’re voted best in Md for a reason!) and a float or two! The market is like two doors down. We visited most days. Things to know: * You have to travel by boat, Tylerton is not connected to the other parts of Smith Island or the main land. The Ferry, Captain Jason runs daily to and from the island. * Once you’re on the island, you can also connect with local resident Eddie to get a ride to the other side of the channel, and a tour of the pelican rookery. * The market isn’t open on Sundays or late most days so you will want to pack a cooler with a few meals for your stay. The kitchen is well stocked to cook for yourself.* Water bugs- pack lots of bug spray, and long sleeves/hoods.* The TV is basically a monitor, but there’s a good collection of family friendly movies to watch and board games to play if you’re stuck inside.We also booked kayaks (adventure smith island at 3 point marine will deliver them to Tylerton) for a day and a sunset cruise.
