Why Annapolis is the East Coast’s Best-Kept Secret for Bachelorette Parties
Annapolis: A Hidden Gem for Bachelorettes
Annapolis, Maryland, is quickly emerging as one of the East Coast’s top bachelorette destinations. What sets Annapolis apart is its unique combination of waterfront charm, vibrant nightlife, and small-town allure that makes brides-to-be feel celebrated, not just one of the crowd. Unlike the bustling bachelorette hotspots like Nashville, Annapolis offers an intimate and elevated experience. It’s large enough to ensure endless fun but small enough to feel special, creating memories that stand out for all the right reasons.
Celebrate on the Water: Sun, Fun, and Unforgettable Memories
The water activities alone are a major draw. Brides and their entourages can soak up the sun with yacht and catamaran rentals or hop aboard a fun and festive tiki boat for a drink-fueled cruise. If you’re looking for a party on the water, the famous sandbar at Cherry Tree Cove is where groups anchor for a one-of-a-kind floating celebration. Whether you're sipping cocktails on a yacht or dancing in the water at the sandbar, the scenic Chesapeake Bay backdrop makes every moment Instagram-worthy. For a truly elevated experience, opt for a private sunset sail—romantic, serene, and unforgettable.
Annapolis After Dark: Nightlife That Sparkles
When the sun goes down, Annapolis truly comes alive. Dock Street provides plenty of opportunities for dancing, while local favorites like the Federal House (or "Fed House," as locals call it) keep the party going with live music and a lively crowd. For something truly unique, Ponche’s Tiki Bar offers tropical cocktails and an energetic DJ. Choptank’s upstairs bar has craft cocktails and waterfront views that can’t be beaten. Annapolis locals often join in the celebrations, sharing in the fun—and sometimes even offering free drinks or cheers to the bride-to-be.
A Foodie’s Paradise: Indulge in Annapolis’ Culinary Delights
Foodies will also find plenty to celebrate in Annapolis. The city is known for its fresh seafood, including iconic Maryland crab feasts that are a must for any bachelorette itinerary. Unique and delicious dining options abound, from mouthwatering tacos and margaritas at local Mexican favorites to some of the freshest sushi on the East Coast at Joss and Tsunami. If your group prefers something more upscale, reserve a table at Preserve or Vin 909 for farm-to-table fare and an elegant atmosphere.
