Did you know the U.S. Naval Academy is open to the public?
If you're visiting Annapolis, this is one stop I always recommend. Just bring a valid photo ID, pass through the security checkpoint, and you can explore the historic campus on your own with a free self-guided tour. You can also choose a guided walking tour for around $16 or an electric shuttle tour around $35 if you'd rather learn the history along the way.
💡 Local tip: Park for free on King George Street across from the St. John's College tennis courts, then enjoy the short walk to the entrance.
Whether you're traveling with family, love history, or simply want one of the most beautiful places in Annapolis for a scenic walk, the Naval Academy is absolutely worth adding to your itinerary.
