Our Expansion


Coming Summer 2026: Wilson's Cove at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club
Chesapeake Bay Beach Club announces expansion with new waterfront hotel, Wilson’s Cove.
The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club (CBBC) is proud to announce the expansion of its award-winning hospitality portfolio with the addition of Wilson’s Cove, a 32-room waterfront hotel designed to enhance the guest experience and elevate the Beach Club as a premier Chesapeake Bay destination. Construction is well underway, with the hotel opening anticipated in Summer 2026.
Located on the banks of Hinckley Bay Bridge Marina, Wilson’s Cove will be positioned between The Inn at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club and the signature waterfront event venue, the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. Guests will enjoy seamless access to all three properties, creating a connection to the Bay, marina, and CBBC's renowned dining, spa, and event venues.
With the addition of Wilson’s Cove, CBBC's guest room portfolio will expand from 77 to 109 rooms and suites. Each room and suite at Wilson’s Cove will feature a private balcony and panoramic sunset views of the Chesapeake Bay. Designed in partnership with DAS Architects and Interiors of Philadelphia, Wilson’s Cove will blend classic Eastern Shore architecture with relaxed luxury — pairing coastal-inspired facades and oversized windows with interiors that showcase natural textures, serene hues, and elevated finishes. Willow Construction of Easton has led the construction of this landmark project.
At the heart of Wilson’s Cove will be a beautifully landscaped pool deck with lounge seating and sweeping marina views. Activity lawns and inviting gathering spaces will create opportunities for connection, whether relaxing fireside, enjoying cocktails at sunset, or sharing time with family and friends.
The hotel’s fourth floor will debut Chesapeake Bay’s newest rooftop lounge and bar, Vue — featuring both indoor and outdoor spaces, curated cocktails, and a menu of small bites. With its unparalleled sunset views, this venue will quickly become one of the Eastern Shore’s most unforgettable gathering spots.
“For more than 25 years, the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club has welcomed guests to celebrate, stay, and connect,” said Dereck Janes, President and CEO. “The addition of Wilson’s Cove marks the next chapter in our story—one that enhances the ways our guests can celebrate life’s most meaningful moments, while honoring the beauty and character of the Eastern Shore.”
Wilson’s Cove marks an exciting milestone in the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club’s continued growth, bringing new opportunities for leisure travelers, wedding couples, and corporate groups alike.
