    Nice area. Friendly workers. Interesting aboveground pipeline no longer in use but I had never seen one like that. Interesting boat exhibit.

    This is a very nice park to visit if you are in the area. You can tour the grounds for free if you like, but for $7 per adult you can climb to the top of the lighthouse, tour the visitor center fully and visit the boat museum. An employee will take you on the tour of the lighthouse, our guide grew up in the area and was very enthusiastic and informative. the grounds have been beautifully restored, I think we spent 2 hours at the park. There is also a pier on the grounds with a large osprey nest near the end of the pier, something that you don't get to see everyday. if you wish to climb the lighthouse stop at the main building first. we parked near the building, walked to the lighthouse, walked back to see the museum in the main building and only then found out that we could climb the lighthouse after paying a fee and getting a guide.

    Had a nice time over at Piney Point. The attractions consist of a small lighthouse, a small museum, and a separate building with several old style oyster and fishing boats.My kids liked climbing up the lighthouse and looking at the boats; they went through the museum quickly (although they did play with the 'hands-on' engine order telegraph and ship's steering wheel each). There is also a small beach next to the lighthouse; this is where my kids spent most of the time playing in the edge of the water and digging in the sand.Museum/boat building/lighthouse admission was $7 adults and $3.50 kids. (Went back into the museum and used one of their two large bathrooms to change my kids out of sandy clothes into spare clothes.)

    The staff were extremely friendly. You can view the gift shop free, the personal tours can be arranged for a fee. The museum and gift shop were open to round out the visit to Piney Point. Great place to pack a picnic lunch as there is picnic tables and a covered pavilion. The pier is minutes from the museum and lighthouse. There is another small museum at the park to view, but we did not visit the location. While one can maneuver a wheelchair around the grounds, the pier and other areas of the park, it could prove challenging for the lighthouse itself. Watch your speeds going through the neighborhood to get to the park.

    This was a nice stop before we left Piney Point. The buildings weren't open for the season yet, but it was nice to look at the lighthouse and walk out on the docks and beach area. It's worth it if you like light houses and I think kids would like the area too. They also have a bunch of picnic tables that would be nice to eat at for lunch or something.

    A bit out of the way, but a nice museum of boating on the Chesapeake Bay and associated rivers and the lighthouse is interesting too. We visited during the Christmas display and the theme in the lighthouse keepers home was Christmas across the decades. Each room represented a different decade, from the Victorian era to the 90s. Pretty cool!

    There is a kayak launch on the property of the lighthouse. You launch into Piney Point Creek. There is an above ground pipeline but once you get past that, it is a very easy and beautiful paddle. There is wildlife and beautiful homes. You can paddle out into the Potomac if you are so inclined.

    Not a real commercial area. Just an interesting lighthouse in a nice area. A museum, pier, and kayak launch are nearby.

    This relatively small lighthouse complex includes the lighthouse, lightkeeper's cottage (open occasionally), and an informative museum, concentrating on life on the Lower Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. There's a nice display of vernacular boats, too. The public beach here is absolutely gorgeous. Be sure to take in adjacent St. George Island. It's beautiful!

    The lighthouse was closed because it was the off season, but we could still walk around and look at the old bell, the light house and see the keepers quarters.

    Go to Piney Point Lighthouse. It's a small lighthouse that is fun to see it's construction. A person from the museum has to escort you to the lighthouse to get inside. It's small and circular. The lighthouse keeper's house is not open to the public. But there's also a small musuem to see boats that are used on the Bay for fishing. It's a small museum, but a fun quick stop.

    The day we went to see the lighthouse, the forecasted high temperature was 105. Even though we went in the morning, it was still brutal by the time we got there. This likely colored our review and it likely should be 4 or even 5 stars. For it's size, there's nice museum where you buy your tickets. Small, but comprehensive and informative. The little boat museum was closed this day due to the excessive heat. We then went out to the light house and climbed to the top. Know that this is a small little lighthouse, no more than 4 stories. There is no access to the keepers house. We went out to the dock and saw jellyfish and a crab.

    Nice little lighthouse to see. Nice view of the water too. Look for the osprey nest.
