ABOUT GIBSON ISLAND:

Gibson Island is less than an hour from Baltimore with no Bay Bridge crossing! Located on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Magothy River, Gibson Island is an enchanting, two by three mile private island in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The Island is accessed by a private, man-made causeway. There is an entry gatehouse staffed around the clock and the Island has its own police department.

The topography varies and includes low-lying, tidal wetlands, a 44-acre spring-fed lake, and rolling hills. Home sites account for about one third of the land, and the remaining two thirds of land is devoted to open space, natural woods, a bird sanctuary and recreation. 

The Gibson Island Harbor is a broad cove of the Magothy River sheltered from all sides, offering safe anchorage to both power and sail boats.  A place of natural beauty and with no Bay Bridge to cross, Gibson Island is less than an hour from Baltimore, Washington and Annapolis, and less than 25 minutes from BWI Airport and the train station, yet feels like it is a world away.

The Island has just over 200 homes and houses a private country club (by invitation only) offering golf, tennis, swimming,  yachting and year-round fine dining —the Island is a special sanctuary indeed!

Directions:
Route Ten North to Route 100 East, Route 100 merges on Mountain Road, right on Mountain Road which dead ends on Gibson Island. Gate House will provide directions to 730 Skywater Road. Please call Sarah Kanne at 301-351-1319.
