What Makes This Area Different

Piney Point is home to the Piney Point Lighthouse Museum & Historic Park, and to the skipjack Dee of St. Mary's, now part of the Calvert Marine Museum's collection. St. Inigoes sits near Webster Field, a Pax River annex. Ridge retains its identity as a working watermen's village.

Local Life

This is the part of the county for buyers who want direct Potomac River access and a slower pace over base proximity, Point Lookout State Park, near Scotland, is a short drive away.

Things to Do
