Waterfront Retirement Communities in Maryland

Maryland is a great state for retirement, especially if you enjoy waterfront activities. The state is of course home to the great Chesapeake Bay, which has dozens of opportunities for boating, fishing, and many other maritime activities year-round. If you’ve always dreamed about enjoying the Mid-Atlantic beach life during retirement, choosing Maryland as your new home is a great place to start!

But where, exactly, should you be moving to in Maryland? There are many waterfront retirement communities in Maryland to choose from where you can get the best of both worlds when it comes to retirement living. Not only can you find a beautiful location on the water, but you can also have access to all the amenities you need to live comfortably and independently. Comfortable accommodations, access to fine dining, social events and activities, and so much more.

Here are some of Maryland’s best 55+ waterfront communities that you should consider if you’re looking for a relaxing (or thrilling) beach retirement life! And they all include health services if needed, meaning should you or a spouse ever need a higher level of care such as assisted living or skilled nursing care, it’s included on the same campus for no direct increase in costs.

1. Heron Point of Chestertown

Heron Point of Chestertown is a beautiful waterfront retirement community in Maryland located in the charming town of Chestertown.
