Waterfront Rooms & Suites

Rod 'N' Reel Resort offers rooms with Chesapeake Bay views, including King Suites with gas fireplaces, pull-out sofas, and private balconies. Standard rooms include flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffee makers, and mini-refrigerators. Accessible rooms feature roll-in showers or grab bars.

Seafood & Casual Dining

The resort features Rod 'N' Reel Restaurant, serving regional seafood specialties like Crab Imperial. 1936 Bar & Grill offers indoor and outdoor seating with bay views. CBQ provides Maryland-inspired BBQ. The Tavern serves daily specials, craft cocktails, and pub-style meals.

Fishing & Water Activities

Guests can book fishing charters on the Sunny Leigh or Miss Lizzy head boat. The marina offers kayak and pontoon rentals. Chesapeake Windsail Cruises provide 2.5-hour bay tours. The rooftop pool overlooks the water.

Gaming & Events

The Game Room has video pull-tab machines and bingo with progressive jackpots. The resort hosts weddings in waterfront venues, including a 3,000 sq ft tent. Corporate events can use the Boardroom or Club Room.

Chesapeake Beach Access

The resort is 60 km from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Nearby attractions include Chesapeake Beach Waterpark (0.5 km) and the Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum (0.3 km). Bruce Snake Gabrielson's Surf Art Gallery is 5 km away.

“Rod 'N' Reel Resort's appeal lies in its access to the Chesapeake Bay and full-service marinas, perfect for those keen on fishing and boating; plus, the varied dining means you can grab anything from fresh seafood to BBQ. While the gaming room provides some year-round fun, it's really the waterfront location that gives this spot its charm, though I think it's more of a practical hotel than a resort. Ultimately, if you're after a fishing trip with easy access, this fits the bill nicely.”
