Route description

MD 365 begins at an intersection with US 113 Business (Market Street) just east of downtown Snow Hill. The state highway heads east as two-lane Bay Street.

The state highway reaches its eastern terminus at Public Landing Wharf Road adjacent to the shore of Chincoteague Bay.[1][2]
