Wander & Rest Tip
After enjoying the soulful sounds of the Gamble Rogers Folk Festival in Elkton, treat yourself to a delicious detour on the way back to your Wander & Rest property. Stop by Woodpeckers Backyard BBQ on SR-13 for some of the best brisket in the county, or head toward the historic district to grab a specialty coffee at The Kookaburra. If you’re craving fresh seafood with a view, St. Augustine Fish Camp or Aunt Kate’s along the river are perfect for a relaxing dinner. Once you return to your sanctuary, let the festival energy melt away by sinking into the heated saltwater pool, detoxing in the private infrared sauna, or enjoying a peaceful soak in the hot tub under the stars.
