    "Where the air is clean and pure! Beautiful place to work and play with easy access to both the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic. Great place to raise a family or kick back and retire with many National Parks, beaches and all kinds of water activities to enjoy. Great fishing, boating, sailing, kayaking, crabbing and hunting. Excellent seafood made by talented chefs with picture perfect views of sunsets on the water. "
