"Located at one of the narrowest spots on the Chesapeake Bay, the still-active Cove Point Lighthouse was established in 1828, making it the oldest Maryland lighthouse in continuous use. On the seven-acre point, you’ll encounter a 40-foot-high brick lighthouse and a lovely cottage that was expanded into a duplex in 1925 to allow for two different keepers to live on-site with their families. While this listing is for the entire house, parties of eight or fewer can opt to rent either side A or side B. Outside either half is a screened-in porch offering expansive bay views, and everyone has access to a beach where kids love hunting for shark teeth and seashells." - Nicholas DeRenzo

Amazing unique place for an overnight stay. Stayed here as part of a wedding party who booked the lighthouse keeper's residence on AirBnB. Super unique residence with a ton of space in different sleeping options. Easy beach access. Nice small museum open for a few hours on the weekend that's great to visit as well.

A beautiful place to stop, take in the amazing views, and learn a little history on the oldest continuously operating lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay.

Easy parking, friendly staff, well kept grounds. This could have been an iconic lighthouse for photography…. That ugly black fence takes away the authentic feel of a lighthouse,…. Such a shame.

This is a beautiful lighthouse - nearly 200 years old! Sweeping views of the bay and Calvert Cliffs. Limited access hours of only 1-4 p.m. on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday so plan ahead if you want to visit. There are lots of signs posted around the property with facts and history. The base of the lighthouse is open but you can't climb up in it. No beach access.

Great lighthouse and near a beach where you can find shark teeth.

Private Property!! Cannot Visit!! check hours before arriving. Very disappointed. I drove to and spent the day in Solomons. After hiking in Calvert Cliff State Park, I stopped by this lighthouse to take some pictures. I was greeted by a set of locked gates with signs indicated that it the private property. For some reasons, I didn't see this info online. It looks like you can only walk the grounds and enter during operating hours. Most lighthouse I visited keep the ground open during day light and special hours for tours.

Such a beautiful place. I wish I brought a lunch to eat at the pavilion. The little museum was interesting. The person running it was a really nice guy. I'm pretty sure they aren't open everyday. So might be a good idea to check before coming. I came about 2ish on a Saturday.
