Cambridge, MD

Built as beacons to guide sailors to safe harbor, the allure of lighthouses still draws us in. Even though lighthouses were primarily intended to show sailors what to avoid, we now seem to be drawn to them. More two dozen of these graceful structures remain in Maryland, many of them still active. Begin your lighthouse tour with these beautiful historic beacons and enjoy the surrounding nature and vistas of the Chesapeake region. Check out information on Choptank River Lighthouse here
