Point Lookout

Situated at the southernmost part of Maryland, Point Lookout beach is an excellent swimming location for visitors seeking water adventure. The Potomac River enters into the Chesapeake Bay and forms the peninsula of Point Lookout Beach. Covered with stretches of sand, the beach offers a quiet and protected picnic area which remains covered with lush trees in the riverside.

The swimming beach on the Potomac side is guided by lifeguards during the seasons. The picnic area equipped with grills, tables and playground remains available on a first-come-first-serve basis. So, plan your trip in advance to avoid any last-minute chaos. You can sit and relax under the setting sun on the boulders that line the coast. Make sure to visit the Civil War Museum on your next trip to this historic site.
