Coastal Treasures Weekend Getaway
October 24–26 | The Washington Hotel & Sugar Water
As autumn sweeps across Maryland’s Eastern Shore, the crisp air and golden sunsets make it the perfect time to escape, unwind, and immerse yourself in the treasures of our coast. This fall, we invite you to join us for a truly special experience: the Coastal Treasures Weekend Getaway, a three-day, two-night journey filled with luxury accommodations, chef-driven dining, and unforgettable coastal adventures.
Whether you’re a devoted seafood enthusiast, a lover of charming small towns, or simply searching for a weekend retreat that blends relaxation with discovery, this getaway promises memories you’ll carry long after you return home.
🏨 A Historic Home Base
Your adventure begins at The Washington Hotel, a historic property in the heart of Princess Anne, Maryland. With its old-world charm and warm hospitality, the hotel offers the perfect mix of comfort and elegance. Each guestroom is designed to feel like a serene retreat, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring. Staying here isn’t just about lodging—it’s about connecting with the rich history of the Eastern Shore while enjoying modern comfort.
🍴 Flavors of the Shore at Sugar Water
Food is at the heart of the Coastal Treasures experience. Throughout the weekend, you’ll enjoy chef-curated meals at Sugar Water, our farm-and-water-to-table restaurant located right within The Washington Hotel. Each meal celebrates the incredible bounty of the Eastern Shore, blending the freshest seasonal ingredients with creative culinary expertise.
From your welcoming dinner on Friday evening to a leisurely brunch on Sunday morning, every bite is meant to showcase the richness of our region’s flavors. Expect oysters, clams, and local seafood prepared with care, alongside thoughtfully sourced produce and house-made specialties.
🦪 Discovering Chincoteague’s Local Treasures
On Saturday, guests will travel by charter bus to Chincoteague, Virginia, a beloved island destination known for its unspoiled beauty and authentic coastal culture. The highlight of the excursion will be a guided tour at Toms Cove Aqua Farms.
But that’s not all—this getaway is about exploring the many charms of Chincoteague. From sandy beaches to small-town shops and hidden local gems, the island offers endless opportunities for discovery. You’ll experience the kind of coastal authenticity that makes the Eastern Shore so unique. These are the little treasures—moments of connection, learning, and joy—that make the weekend so memorable.
Tom’s Cove Aqua-farms
No Coastal Treasures Weekend Getaway would be complete without a stop at Tom’s Cove Aquafarms in nearby Chincoteague, Virginia. Family-run and rooted in more than 150 years of tradition, Tom’s Cove is renowned for producing some of the finest oysters and clams on the East Coast. The farm thrives in the cool, ocean-fed waters beside Assateague Island, where the unique blend of salt and tide creates seafood with an unmistakable flavor of place.
During your getaway, you’ll enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of this aquafarm. It’s a chance to see firsthand how oysters and clams are cultivated, learn about their importance to both the ecosystem and the dinner table, and connect with the proud heritage of Chincoteague’s working waters.
This stop is more than a tour—it’s an experience that deepens the entire weekend. As you taste the freshest shellfish at Sugar Water, you’ll have a story to go with every bite, knowing exactly where it came from and the generations of knowledge that brought it to your plate. It’s a coastal treasure in the truest sense.
🍳 Sunday: A Leisurely Brunch Send-Off
Sundays are for slowing down, and we’ve planned the perfect ending to your weekend. After sleeping in, you’ll enjoy a leisurely brunch at Sugar Water, served from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Come at your convenience, sip a mimosa or coffee, and savor one last taste of the Eastern Shore before heading home.
