Tolchester Beach was a popular resort established in 1877, located on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Kent County, Maryland.[2][3][4] It was located just north of Rock Hall, Maryland, and closed in 1962.[5]
In the late 1800s, Tolchester Beach was a popular tourist destination for residents of Baltimore and other areas served by the Chesapeake Bay steamships.[3] The beach had hotels, restaurants, and games, picnics, horse-racing and an amusement park with a merry-go-round and a roller coaster.[3]
Some of the steamships that served Tolchester Beach were the Emma Giles[6] and Louise.[3]
