Weekend Getaway: Maryland's Eastern Shore

Summer may be over, but if you’re still looking to hang on to warm weather, head to Maryland’s Eastern Shore, where mild temperatures linger a bit longer. It seems easier to ease into autumn here, about 75 miles east of Washington, D.C., with the tranquil Chesapeake Bay as a backdrop. You can bike rural back roads, window-shop along the charming main streets of Easton and St. Michaels, then kick back at the end of the day with a dozen (or more) oysters on the half shell.
