Deal Island Bay Cottage in Deal Island

Enjoy the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay in a
relaxing and peaceful way. The Deal Island Bay Cottage on Maryland's
Eastern Shore situated on a large lot where you can unwind
from the daily stresses of the beltway life. Watch the sunrise every
morning as you eat breakfast from the cozy dining room while a
symphony of bird sounds provide the music and entertainment.
Activities reported by past guests include crabbing. Locals use a
technique known as chicken necking where they tie a chicken neck to a
weighted rope. Once the crab starts munching on the chicken, the rope
is slowly pulled up and a net is used to get the critter. All
supplies for are in the cottage except the chicken. Other guests have
fished, boated and hunted, which is plentiful during the right season.
Some say that the Deal Island Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is the
mecca of duck hunting in the winter! So, use it as a hunting lodge and
bring home the fowl.
At dusk, take a walk to the beach on the other side of the bridge
which is only 1 block away and watch the sun set into the bay as if
you were sitting in Key West, Florida, but without the crowds.
Keep an eye out for the many bird species that the Deal Island
Wildlife Management area is known for. Great Blue Herons, Canada
Geese, unique ducks, gulls and more. "This region possesses an
extensive variety of environments including barrier islands, coastal
bays, tidal wetlands, cypress swamps, upland fields and primeval
forests. More bird sightings have been recorded here than in any
other region of the state." (Birding Weekend)
