Lusby is a small suburban community located near the end of the peninsula between the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay. The close proximity to Patuxent River Naval Air Station makes Lusby a popular area among armed service personnel and civilian military employees seeking off-base housing. While mainly a residential community, you’ll find several small clusters of shops and restaurants along Solomons Island Road. To the north, Calvert Cliffs State Park provides a sprawling natural landscape perfect for hiking and camping, with gorgeous views of the bay. Washington, D.C. is sixty miles up the road, allowing you to easily make a trip into the nation’s capital for brief excursion or a long weekend anytime.
