Allison Blake explores Chesapeake Bay—distinctive lodgings, aquatic adventures, and tucked-away towns.

A resident of both Maryland and Virginia for more than 20 years, Blake's intimate knowledge of the area and her explorations of much of the thousands of miles of shoreline and countryside give her the tools to offer again what Travel + Leisure has called the best book on the area.
