Kent Island Waterscapes

The nearly 200 fine-art images of this large coffee-table book capture four seasons of coastal activity on Kent Island—the largest island in the Chesapeake Bay

Nearly 200 fine-art images in this large coffee table book capture four seasons of coastal activity on Kent Island—the largest island in the Chesapeake Bay.

Idyllically situated on Maryland''s Eastern Shore, Kent Island maintains a quiet timelessness despite its proximity to the Washington-Baltimore metro area. It brims with outdoor activity, from working boats to birdlife, charter boats, tankers, and paddling dogs. 

This book''s lush photographic spreads capture this watery environment year-round—from winter''s empty crab pots and icy shores, to spring and fall''s wildlife migrations, to summer''s storms and sunsets. It''s the most comprehensive photographic essay of Kent Island''s natural heritage to date, and one of very few professional coffee-table books to spotlight this location. 

Highlights of this book include: 

• Points of interest: Romancoke Pier, Waterman''s Boat Basin, Kent Point Marina, Sandy Point Shoal Lighthouse, Kentmorr Marina, Queen Anne Marina, Terrapin Park, Chesapeake Bay Beach Club, Harris Crab House & Seafood Restaurant, Shipping Creek Landing, Bloody Point Bar Lighthouse, Dock House Restaurant, Ferry Point Park, Libbey’s Coastal Kitchen & Cocktails, and Bay Bridge Marina
• Includes a foreword by Jack Broderick, the president of Kent Island Heritage Society

• A popular vacation and destination wedding spot, Kent Island attracts visitors from the DC/Baltimore/Annapolis metro area, as well as Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio

• The seafood and beaches of the Chesapeake Bay''s Eastern Shore are legendary

Local resident and fine-art photographer Dale Hall''s nautical imagery is an irresistible invitation to explore the flurry of life along Maryland''s storied Eastern Shore.
