Best place to get crab cakes by the beach?

[Anonymous]

We want to go somewhere in Maryland this weekend to get crab cakes. A day trip by the shore that has other fun things to do in the area. Not in Baltimore as we have been there a lot. Would be ideal to eat by the water but not necessary. Normally I'm all about the food but in this case I am also interested in the ambiance (not necessarily fancy, just beachy). Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I like a trip to Kent Island— it’s an hour away but there’s a tiny beach at Terrapin Park and some restaurants (a brewpub, a crab cake place, a slightly fancier place etc).

It can be hard to know where crab meat is coming from but crab season starts in April around here.

Annapolis is a nice easy trip

This is on water but not “beach”.

Yes—The Narrows restaurant in Grasonville has awesome crab cakes and is about 10 minutes from Terrapin Park.

We like The Narrows or Bridges.

We haven’t been there since the new owners took over, but Kentmorr, just over the bridge, has a good beach.
