Eileen's Random Travels
"Let's find some beautiful place to get lost." unknown
Maryland's Western shores is a little under a 2 hour drive from our house. I have gone birding in this area with the bird club and have gone out on a boat ride to Smith Island from this area but this trip we visited lighthouses, parks and gardens.
These are some images from an overnight getaway to Maryland's Western Shore. Lighthouses were seen around Solomon's Island, Piney Point and Point Lookout State Park in Scotland Maryland and Calvert Cliffs State Park.
This is the Piney Point Lighthouse, Piney Point Maryland.
A map of Maryland Western shore, Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. Maryland's Eastern shore is across the Chesapeake bay.
This is the Drum Point Lighthouse in Solomon's Island Maryland.
Below is the Drum Point Lighthouse.
The Cove Point Lighthouse is also being renovated due to open this month.
The view of the Cove Point Lighthouse was taken from the Calvert Cliffs beach.

This is the Point Lookout Lighthouse, it was closed for renovations. I did not want a photo of the fence around this lighthouse so I only took a photo of the top of the Lighthouse. We were there to watch the sunset.
