Solomons is a community and census-designated place (CDP) in Calvert County, Maryland, US. Solomons is considered a popular weekend destination spot amongst many living in the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area.
Solomons Island is on the north side of the mouth of Patuxent River, where it meets the Chesapeake Bay. It is just across from the U.S. Patuxent River Naval Air Station.
The Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge leads from just off Solomons Island proper to Saint Mary’s County, MD and the Patuxent Naval Air Station.
Flag Ponds Nature Park
Named after the abundant Blue Flag Iris, this parkland has been set aside by the County to preserve a portion of the natural beauty of the area. There are a variety of trails through the park – a half-mile trail to the beach and a fishing pier – longer trails through the park to two freshwater ponds.
North Beach
Nestled on the Chesapeake Bay’s western shore, the Town of North Beach epitomizes “land of pleasant living.” Its seven-block waterfront contains a public fishing pier and a half-mile-long boardwalk with accompanying bike path. The boardwalk is dotted with benches for residents and visitors to linger and Bay-watch. Located at the northern tip of Calvert County, North Beach also encompasses a wildlife refuge in its tidal marshlands, home to native wildlife and host to seasonal migrations.
Chesapeake Beach Water Park
The Chesapeake Beach Water Park opened in the summer of 1995 to serve the local community with more splashin’ fun. Eight water slides, fountains, waterfalls, a lagoon, kids’ activity pool, and more to treat everyone to a cool time.
Arthur Storer Planetarium
Located on the grounds of Calvert High School and the site of the original Storer land, the planetarium offers educational programs about our night sky.
