The summer season brings Solomons and southern Maryland some of the most beautiful weather for water activities and joining in the community fun! The Calvert Marine Museum is open daily and is a great spot for families and science-loving adults alike to enrich themselves in the rich history of the Chesapeake Bay. Also, arguably the coolest thing, they have their very own otter residents that museum visitors can stop in to see! Even if science was not your best subject in school, the Museum may still be one of your favorite summertime spots because of the PNC Waterside Pavilion, located right outside the museum doors. Each summer the museum puts on a waterside concert series, bringing a lot of huge names in music to the southern Maryland community! In recent years the museum has welcomed Earth, Wind and Fire, Thomas Rhett, Kane Brown, and The Beach Boys! Nothing makes for a better SOMD summer day than taking the boat out on the bay during the day and ending it with some great music under the stars.
