Delmarva is a long peninsula encompassing Delaware, the eastern shore of Maryland, and part of Virginia and lies between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Much of it consists of commercial farmland and is an ideal place for cycling due to the little-traveled country roads, gently rolling coastal plains and farm fields and pristine views of the sparkling water. In addition, there are several quaint towns, antiques shops, superb seafood restaurants, and a nautical museum. This ride incorporates a short ferry ride on the oldest continuously operating ferry in the United States. There are several other roads to ride and further explore the beautiful countryside and obtain different water views. The Oxford-Bellevue Ferry is open 7 days a week and runs every 15-20 minutes from 9:00 a.m. to sunset but exact times and dates may vary so check on the schedule before making this trip.
