Create an itinerary including Choptank River Lighthouse
Completed in 2012, this is a replica of the Choptank River Lighthouse that guided ships in the Choptank River until 1964, when it was dismantled by the U.S. Coast Guard. It served as an unforgettable icon to many—for generations of watermen, for visitors who came by steamboat, for sailors in regattas.

Today the replica has become a new icon for the city of Cambridge and all of Dorchester County, Maryland.

    Cambridge MD is not just a pit stop on the way to the beach. Take the time to visit, visit the amazing restaurants, waterfront and downtown. You will not be disappointed 🙂

  • By Lysa Locke
    The views are breathtaking. Prepare to take pics, but it's really hard to capture the natural beauty digitally. Historical info was worth reading. I'd like to see a sunset from there.
