• Recommended Local Best Kept Secrets: The village of Tylerton itself, a waterman village made up almost entirely of descendants of settlers from Wales and Cornwall as early as the 1660's. Its history, language, socio-political structure (there has never been a formal local government), religious life, and struggle for survival against threats of land and demographic erosion have captivated many guests. Tylerton is the hauntingly beautiful and remote place which you thought no longer exists. And guests are almost always warmly welcomed by the locals.
• Directions: Smith Island, straddling the Maryland/Virginia state line, is 10 miles out in the Chesapeake Bay and is best reached from the port of Crisfield on the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland. Tylerton has neither roads nor vehicles, although travel to (port) Crisfield requires an automobile. Travel to Crisfield on Route 50 (Washington, D.C. and Baltimore via Annapolis and Salisbury) or Route 13 (Philadelphia or Norfolk). Ferry departs Crisfield at 12:30 and 5:00 p.m. daily and Tylerton at 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Parking is available in Crisfield. Guests coming in their own craft can tie up at the County Dock in Tylerton.
