Visit Washington D.C.

If you’re visiting Chesapeake Paradise from out of state—or especially from overseas—you’re just a little over an hour away from one of the world’s most iconic cities: Washington, D.C.

Spend the day walking the National Mall, where you can take in landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, the Capitol Building, and the White House. Best of all, many of D.C.’s most celebrated attractions are free, including the Smithsonian museums—from the National Museum of Natural History to the Air and Space Museum and the National Gallery of Art.

History buffs can explore the Library of Congress, U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and Ford’s Theatre, while culture lovers will enjoy browsing through vibrant neighborhoods like Georgetown, Dupont Circle, and Capitol Hill.

Whether you're after cherry blossoms in the spring, a summer evening concert on the lawn, or fall walks under the golden trees, Washington, D.C. offers a perfect contrast to the slower-paced serenity of Chesapeake Paradise—making it a truly special addition to your stay.
