Piney Point, Maryland

A peaceful peninsula where the Potomac River meets the Chesapeake Bay. Sunsets over the pier, private docks, and fresh blue crabs.

THE PINEY POINT EXPERIENCE

Why make this your home base

When it's time to swap mountain pines for salt air and tranquil tidal waters, Piney Point is Aussie Man's waterfront sanctuary on Maryland's historic St. Mary's peninsula. Here, life is measured by the tide schedule. Cast a line from the private dock, launch kayaks into sheltered coves at dawn, steam locally caught Maryland blue crabs on the screened porch, and watch the sun sink into wide open water.

Direct private deepwater dock for boating, fishing, and kayak launching
Supplied with crab traps, fishing rods, and paddles for effortless water days
Unobstructed sunset views over the Potomac and St. George Creek
Only 2 hours from Washington D.C. and Northern Virginia
