Parking Area Map for Schaefer's Canal House & M/V Summer Breeze Boat Cruises

Information about our parking areas

Once guests arrive at Schaefer's they realize by the overwhelming amount of cars, trucks, motorcycles, tour buses, and RV's that this is a very popular location in Chesapeake City, Maryland. The next part is locating a parking spot! Well we have a print friendly diagram of our multiple areas that are FREE to park when visiting us!.

Looking at the map you will be viewing it facing South. So we always say the Chesapeake City Bridge goes directly above Schaefer's so when driving on RT 213 be sure to make the last left BEFORE going over the bridge or you have went too far. RT 285 (Lock Street) is on the left side of the map.

Parking Area #1

Schaefer's has parking on site which we have listed as "Parking Area #1" which is paved and has a drive up portco to disembark passengers when entering the restaurant. When you are in the parking lot facing the buildings with the C&D Canal behind them, the restaurant is the building to the left and the Banquet Hall is to the right. The Lighthouse Bar and outside seating is between both buildings on the lower level guided by a cobble stone walkway.

Parking Area #2

Our next parking area is connected to the main parking lot which using the bridge as a landmark is positioned to the West. This parking area is a crushed packed stone lot and is shorter walking distance to the marina dock office, Summer Breeze cruise boat, sunset deck, and Lighthouse Bar. The lots are connected by an entrance on the South side of the yellow structure in the main parking lot. We encourage and direct any guests who are:

1. Boaters with overnight or extended reservations at the marina that have rental cars or personal vehicles.

2. RV's

3. Bus tour groups

4. Guests taking a cruise on the M/V Summer Breeze cruise boat

5. Trucks with boat trailers

6. People using the C&D Canal Trail for the day

Parking Area #3

This parking area is two blocks heading North directly under the bridge on Biddle Street. From Bank Street you will pass Pig Alley, a one way street on the right. At the stop sign drive straight which brings you to the parking lot. It is a stone lot with three long rows for parking.

Parking Area #4

Driving South on Lock Street make a right at the stop sign just passed the Chesapeake City Volunteer Fire Company (White Building on right). Approximately 500 feet on the right is our parking lot #4 located on Biddle Street. It is our newest parking area with 160 parking spots. Marina guests with vehicles, Uber, and people using the C&D Trail are directed to this additional parking area.

The town also allows street parking however any questions regarding parking ,in areas other than the ones mention, should be directed to the Town of Chesapeake City at 410-885-5298.

So now that your here and parked, let's go relax, have a drink, enjoy some tasty seafood, listen to some music outside, or just enjoy the waterfront atmosphere! ~Enjoy~
