Chesapeake Bay Magazine celebrates why we live here. Since 1971.

Our loyal readers have followed us for over 50 years because living on and by the Bay is special. It's not an address, it's a way of life. 

Their ideal day includes exploring all the bay offers by boat, car, paddle, or other means. With 3 out of 4 readers owning a boat, knowing the best ports of call and scenic rivers to explore is critical to uncovering the best of the Chesapeake. From boat reviews, marina research, waterfront restaurants, and happening events, CBM is their resource for it all.

Knowing what towns to explore, waterfront home trends, and Chesapeake recipes to try, Chesapeake Bay Magazine is the guide that helps tell the yet-to-be-discovered stories of our great region. 

Use the strength of our brand trust to connect with 58k monthly readers by positioning your story next to our award-winning journalism. With weekly emails, six-themed annual magazines, and special editions, there are plenty of strategic audience-targeting options for a brand to enjoy.
