There are 23 counties in Maryland that extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the mountains in the western portion of the state.
The state can be divided into five geographical regions, including, the Capital Region, Central Maryland, the Eastern Shore, Southern Maryland and Western Maryland.            
One of the state's main attractions is the Chesapeake Bay which is 195 miles long in Maryland and 1,726 square miles in area. The Chesapeake varies in width from 3 to 20 miles with two outlets to the Atlantic Ocean.
There are 47 operational state parks and 2.7 million acres of forest area.
Over 5.4 million people live in Maryland with 92% living inside a metropolitan area. The population is expected to rise to over 6 million by the year 2025.
The Port of Baltimore serves over 60 ocean carriers making nearly 2,500 annual port visits. The chief exports are coal, corn, soybeans, lignite and coal coke, petroleum, fuel oils and asphalt. Major employers in the state include Bethlehem Steel, Computer Sciences Corp, General Motors, Lockheed Martin, Marriott, McCormick & Co, and Northrop Grumman.
 
 
Baltimore's Inner Harbor attracts millions of visitors a year. The Inner Harbor includes the Maryland Science Museum and the National Aquarium.
Annapolis is the state's capital and also attracts many tourists.
In the Annapolis area fascinating sites await you. Instead of taking long drives to make new discoveries, you can find them just blocks from your front door.
In Annapolis you can stroll along the famed waterfront City Dock and embrace what it must have been like during the 1700's, when the city was a bustling seaport with vessels sailing in to trade from all over the world. Today you can enjoy the sailboat races in the harbor and understand why Annapolis is America’s Sailing Capital.
The U.S. Naval Academy is a National Historic Site and is open for guided tours of the 338-acre campus. Or tour the free History Quest museum at the City Dock to learn of historical sights such as the William Paca House & Garden.
The Western Maryland mountains and the eastern shore's ocean resorts are popular vacation areas.
