Taylors Island Business Directory

Taylors Island is a small peninsula community in southern Dorchester County on Fishing Bay, accessible via Maryland Route 16. With a population of a few hundred year-round residents, the island economy is built around recreational boating, sport fishing, and waterfront properties, with Slaughter Creek Marina and Palm Beach Willies serving visitors and seasonal residents. Old Trinity Church, built around 1675 on the nearby mainland, is one of the oldest Episcopal churches in the United States and draws heritage visitors to the area. Scenic natural beauty and proximity to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge make it a destination for eco-tourism and outdoor recreation.
