Tolchester Beach is an unincorporated community located on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Kent County, Maryland, United States. Established in 1877, it was formerly a popular resort.[2][3][4] Tolchester Beach is located just north of Rock Hall. The resort was 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, 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] See also
