Beach to Bay Heritage Area

The Beach to Bay Heritage Area (BBHA) is one of thirteen state-certified heritage areas. Through a variety of partnerships with individual citizens, representatives of various organizations, and public agencies, the Beach to Bay Heritage Area works to blend economic development at the local level with the conservation of the area’s natural, cultural and historic resources in a regional heritage area approach that will better serve all counties and municipalities on Maryland’s Lower Eastern Shore.
The key goal of the Beach to Bay Heritage Area plan is to stimulate cultural heritage tourism growth and the associated economic benefits, while preserving and promoting the heritage area through grants projects awards that are in keeping with our mission.
The Beach to Bay Heritage Area is a grassroots, nonprofit organization whose purpose is to preserve, protect and promote the cultural, natural and historical heritage of Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties.
