Springtime in Annapolis is unlike anywhere else. Imagine enjoying sun-filled skies, blooming flowers, and warm, breezy weather as you walk down Main Street or along the waterfront. The capital city of Maryland provides an idyllic backdrop for getting back outside after a long winter and visiting local attractions.
At The Village at Providence Point—A National Lutheran Community, we seek to provide independent living residents with a vibrant, active lifestyle during the spring, and our Annapolis location will help us achieve this.

There's no better way to bask in the warm weather than being near water. Due to Annapolis' prime location along the Chesapeake Bay, the city offers breathtaking views of surrounding waterways and ample recreational opportunities for older adults seeking adventure.
Head down to the waterfront to catch a relaxing boat ride or rent a kayak, paddleboard, or canoe to add some excitement to your day. The waterfront also offers plenty of nautical-themed land activities, including the Annapolis Maritime Museum and Park, if you prefer staying dry.
Consider stopping by a local restaurant while out and about. Annapolis' waterfront restaurants range from fine dining establishments to casual crab shacks, offering an option for every occasion.
Explore the Chesapeake Bay from a different perspective by embarking on a Watermark Cruise. Watermark's boat tours offer an immersive experience into the history, culture, and lifestyle of Annapolis and the surrounding Chesapeake Bay area.
