California, Maryland is a relaxed Chesapeake Bay community that makes multi-week placements feel like an easy live-work escape — expect waterfront access, fresh seafood, parks and a quiet small‑town vibe with enough services and outdoor options to keep weeks interesting.
Notable nearby hubs a short drive away are Lexington Park/Patuxent River NAS for shopping, dining and activity, historic Leonardtown for arts and festivals, and Solomons Island for marinas, waterfront dining and weekend boating.
