So quaint! My hubby spontaneously decided to take a road trip in search of a small town vibe and this was our first stop in Havre de Grace. It's free with an optional donation jar. The staff is VERY pleasant and helpful. While you wait expect conversation and maybe a little trivia. Up to 3 adults or a family of four can climb to the top of this small lighthouse. I do literally mean climb, the ladder is for real and the space is tight. The view of the water left us speechless. read more

Good place for fishing, taking pictures, picnic or walking the dog. Very peaceful and relaxing. read more

Loved this stop along our road trip! Havre de Grace is a beautiful town and this stop was easy with street parking and public restrooms nearby. The only downside was that it closed at 2pm so we missed our chance to get our passport stamped. read more

I explored Havre de Grace with some friends yesterday for a few hours, and we made a stop at Concord Point Lighthouse. It's a 36-foot lighthouse overlooking where the Susquehanna flows into the Chesapeake Bay. Constructed in 1827, it's the second-oldest tower lighthouse still standing on the bay. The walls of the lighthouse are of thick Port Deposit granite. Since it's such a little lighthouse, it's just a few steps and a (very steep, not my favorite) ladder up to the top. You can also visit the lighthouse keeper's house across the street from the lighthouse that serves as a little museum. The lighthouse and lighthouse keeper's house are are open seasonally, so check their hours online before stopping by. The staff who we spoke with at the base of the lighthouse and inside the house were very nice and helpful! It's a short, little lighthouse, but the views are still nice from inside. Worth visiting if you're making a day trip of Havre de Grace, but I wouldn't drive out of my way for it. read more

I really have to say that the Concord Point Lighthouse is great advertising for Havre De Grace. The honey and I needed a stop on our way to Delaware/Philadelphia and I looked up points of interest along the way - enter in the lighthouse and the town of Havre De Grace. The lighthouse is part of a mid sized park. At one point someone carved beautiful wood statues of local avian wildlife for each of the columns that line the dock, however there's also a larger bird sculpture, a little free library (empty when we visited) and a trail leading off to the adjoining wetlands. We likely never would have stopped and walked around downtown Havre De Grace without the lighthouse but we did enjoy the local decor for Halloween and the chance to stretch our legs before the last leg of our journey north. Overall, if you need a peaceful little detour, this town and the Concord Point Lighthouse are definitely a good one to make. read more

Beautiful place to visit. I would like to come back again. We were here for the Seafood festival. Which even with the rain turned out to be a very nice event. We selected VIP so they had a separate tent available. Drinks were included with $10.00 worth of tickets to go towards food purchases. Definitely would attend again! read more

Havre de grace is just one of those places if you are close by stop by. This lighthouse is a great addition to all this town has to offer. It's free admission, and such a beautiful site. Yes it's a beautiful site during the warmer months....but the pictures you can capture during the winter months are GORGEOUS!! So definitely bring you cameras, or cellphones and get the best shot! I have witness weddings, wedding photography, Easter egg hunts, 5k runs, and so much more that have taken place around the lighthouse. Covid rules - We ask that visitors please practice social distancing. Masks are no longer required in the Lighthouse and Keeper's House Museum and Gift Shop, but visitors are encouraged to wear masks in both locations. Masks and sanitizer are available at both the Lighthouse and Keeper's House. Per their website here's their description.... The Concord Point Lighthouse is the second oldest lighthouse in Maryland and the symbol of Havre de Grace. Built in 1827, the lighthouse served as a beacon for sailors in the Upper Chesapeake Bay until being decommissioned in 1975. Located at the point where the Susquehanna River meets the Chesapeake Bay, the light was an active aid to navigation for 148 years. Today, the fully restored Lighthouse and Keeper's House are both open to the public on weekends from April to October. In addition, volunteer keepers conduct educational tours throughout the year. The Lighthouse property anchors one end of Havre de Grace's beautiful waterfront promenade. The property is located along where the Susquehanna River meets the tidal flow of the Chesapeake Bay. The views are spectacular. Thus, it is a popular site for wedding ceremonies and special events! All in all, this is a lovely place to visit! read more

Stopped by to stretch and enjoy the view. War of 1812 historic sight. Decommissioned lighthouse still standing. read more

Havre De Grace is just one of those towns that you will always go back to. I've always loved Havre De Grace. My husband and I decided to have our intimate wedding here last minute really. I contacted the coordinator and he allowed us to make a micro donation and placed reserved for private event signs for us on our day. Justin was wonderful to work with the light house wedding was perfect, gorgeous weather and everyone around respected our little wedding and stood afar to watch. Peaceful , beautiful and we wanted this place because it held special memory from our first summer together 7 years ago! read more

Bottom Line: A nice historical landmark on the northern end of the Chesapeake Bay. The Concord Point Lighthouse is the image that many people associate with Havre De Grace. The lighthouse and the accompanying keeper's house are cute and quaint and sit on the edge of the bay where it meets the Susquehanna River which can result in turbulent waters. April through October visitors can climb the lighthouse for free although there are some restrictions on age and a recommendation to wear sturdy shoes for the final climb up the ladder. When you get to the top of 26 steps and 7 wrung ladder you can enjoy sweeping views of the Chesapeake Bay. If you can spare a few dollars, donations are appreciated and go towards repainting and restoring the lighthouse as necessary. After all, if I lived to be 188 years old I know I would need a little cosmetic work too! read more

After walking from the "downtown" section of Havre de Grace looking for the promenade, we stumbled upon the Concord Point Lighthouse, which is located just at the start (or end depending on which way you go) of the promenade along the Susquehanna channel between the river and the Chesapeake Bay. I had read about the lighthouse before our day trip, but nothing really mentioned just how tiny it would be! We thought maybe it was a replica/miniature and the "real" lighthouse must be somewhere else nearby, but, in fact, this lighthouse is it. The keeper outside directed us into the lighthouse to make the climb to the top. After going up the winding staircase, there is a short ladder to climb to reach the outlook. I would estimate two people can comfortably fit at one time. We took some pictures when we were at the top and then went on our way, probably spending about 5-7 minutes total from entrance to exit. Most lighthouses I have been to are much higher, so this was a unique experience in that it was the smallest lighthouse I have been in to date. Across the street is a small museum and gift shop, where they do sell bottled water for $1. Donations are appreciated for the lighthouse upkeep, and be sure to sign the guest book upon leaving. If you are in Havre de Grace, I recommend stopping by to check out this feature! read more

Very interesting sight along the promenade. What's so great about it is that you are able to go inside and up the lighthouse. Kids get a souvenir if they make the climb! (But they Must be 42" tall). There is a spiral staircase and a ladder. The ladder is a bit scary. There is not much space at the top. Glad we had this experience though. Definitely recommend it, just be aware if you are scared of heights. read more

A seriously beautiful point! Not only is the lighthouse itself splendid, but the boardwalk huge the coast with picturesque views from just about every angle. read more

This is a very cool and great historical landmark. From the outside. Inside you will find the three story high picture of falling apart. There was a very long line so I recommend coming here in the fall instead. When we got to the staircase I immediately saw a sign that said "needs paint job". They were right, everywhere we looked the paint was just chipping. Once your done climbing the surprisingly beautiful steps, the director makes you climb up a rickety metal ladder to the light. The light is very pretty, but the best thing about it is the beautiful view of the cheasepeake bay. Will come here again read more

My boyfriend and I wanted to try out a new town for valentine's day weekend, we decided to come to Havre de Grace. The drive was not to far and I love lighthouses so I knew this was a great way to spend our Sunday. It was a little cold to spend to much time at the park but I will definitely come back when it is warmer out. Definitely a great place for all ages. read more

One of the most beautiful lighthouses you will see in Maryland. This one is from the 1800's and is a significant part of history, especially during the war of 1812. You can go up to the top and look out the beautiful view. Well worth a trip to see this beauty! read more

My fiance and I stopped at Harve De Grace on a day trip after visiting Susquehanna state park. It's a neat little town with free parking and a neighborhood sitting right behind the main stretch. They have a few shops and restaurants in town and on the visitor website Concord Point Lighthouse was mentioned as a must see. We made our way walking to the lighthouse which if you don't know where it is, all you have to do is follow the blue trail on the sidewalk which goes through points of interest in town. The light house is free to go up and holds 2-4 people at a time. They accept donations and the light house keeper and his wife run the light house and the light house shop behind it. It's a neat little adventure while you are in town and if you appreciate history a worthwhile site to stop at. read more

I love lighthouses and this is one of the prettiest I have seen. It isn't a big lighthouse, but the park and surrounding area make it worth the trip. The lighthouse sits at the point where the Susquehanna River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The views are absolutely lovely! Their are several museums walking distance from lighthouse including the keepers house. There is also a promenade boardwalk that runs from the lighthouse to Tydings park that is a wonderful walk. The town of Havre de Grace is also very cute with great restaurants and cute shops! My favorite lighthouse yet! read more

Adorable and nicely restored lighthouse that's open Saturday and Sunday afternoons from April through September, Concord Point is worth a visit! You can climb up into, but the lighthouse is not all that tall, so it's not a strenuous climb, although the last part is a simple metal ladder and not-so-wide opening. The climb is free, but they have a box for donations. The light keeper's house across the street has been beautifully restored, and has good information and exhibits on the history of the lighthouse itself and the keeper's house. The house also has a small gift shop. Next to the lighthouse you'll find the Promenade boardwalk, which is also absolutely worth visiting. read more

This is a charming place and was a lovely little stop on a road trip my husband and I were on. Beautiful weather didn't hurt either. We enjoyed the quiet town on a pleasant walk through. It was pretty cool to go up into the lighthouse too. What a view! The gentleman there who was keeping the line moving was full of fun facts and very entertaining. We also visited the light house keepers house. It was packed with information and artifacts. Everything was free but they do ask for donations. Make sure you sign the guest book at each location also. They get credit for that and it helps them get money to continue operating. read more
