8. Delmarva Peninsula (Hwys 13 and 50)
Where: 210 miles between Annapolis, Maryland and Virginia Beach, Virginia
The Delmarva Peninsula is one of the most scenic regions on the East Coast of the United States to enjoy while driving one’s automobile. Consisting of U.S. Highways 50 and 13, the route takes one through the Maryland and Virginia Eastern Shore. The roadway travels through miles of wetlands with numerous water-side views during the drive. Along the way, there are a number of Chesapeake Bay and seaside towns that deliver some of the best seafood in the region if looking for a nice lunch or dinner. The route is extremely flat and is also popular with cyclists. Motorists should be warned; however, to watch their speed along much of the route, as it is not uncommon to receive a speeding ticket while traveling through the small towns where the speed limit drops to 45 and 55 MPH.
