Ego Alley / Annapolis City Dock

Maryland

TypeRoadside & scenic
Visitingfree

Annapolis's working harbor-turned-promenade: yachts idle up the narrow basin, turn around in front of a sidewalk audience, and idle back out -- hence the nickname 'Ego Alley.' It anchors the Colonial Annapolis National Historic Landmark District, with the Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley Memorial at its head.

Iconic, free, people-watching harbor scene that's a natural pair with the state capital visit -- but coordinates need tightening (no authoritative infobox found) before treating this as checkinable-precise.

Hours, admission, and access change — confirm with the official source before you plan the detour.
