A genuine Chesapeake City landmark on the C&D Canal since the 1930s, Schaefer’s has been watching enormous ships transit the canal for nearly a century — and the deck experience of sipping a cold drink while a 600-foot freighter glides past close enough to wave at has not gotten old. The full-service restaurant and marina make this a dock-and-dine destination, and the consistent quality of the seafood over so many decades has made it an institution for boaters and road-trippers alike.
