Lighthouse adventure

T and I spent our Saturday exploring the Calvert Marine Museum and Solomons. The museum manages two lighthouses, one of which is on the museum property.

Drum Point lighthouse was moved to the museum in the 1970s, and is available to tour. It is a screwpile lighthouse, where the keeper and family lived on several floors.

Cove Point lighthouse is actively in use, and the former keeper's house is now available to rent through Airbnb. It is located along a beach, with a nice view of Calvert Cliffs and a not-so-nice view of an LNG platform.

Neither one requires hiking or boating to reach, although one could certainly make a side visit to Calvert Cliffs.
