Many unique sites and events related to the Naval Academy are well worth exploring. A campus tour will provide much history and can be organized through the Armel-Leftwich Visitor Center. Be sure to check out the unique gift shop while you are there, and if you time it correctly, you can see the midshipmen's Noon Formation to give you an authentic taste of life as a midshipman. If you prefer, do a self-guided academy tour at your own pace. The US Naval Academy Museum is a beautiful display of artifacts, and the Naval Academy Chapel is a sight to behold with its impressive dome and colorful stained-glass windows.

As you start from the State Capital on Church Circle and make your way down Main Street to the City Dock, youll discover dozens of unique, locally-owned fashion boutiques and specialty gift shops tucked in between art galleries, pubs, restaurants, and historic inns. This culminates into Ego Alley at the waters edge, which isnt an alley in the traditional sense of the word; rather than a walkway, its a narrow waterway that spills out into Spa Creek. The name Ego Alley comes from the queue of expensive boats that parade through the waterway on evenings and weekends. You cant go wrong grabbing food and refreshments at any of the establishments here. For happy hour or a night out, we recommend checking out Pussers Caribbean Grill or Dock Street Bar & Grill for a fun evening.
