Point No Point Light

Point No Point Light is a lighthouse located at the edge of Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, standing about 12 meters tall above the water. It continues to function as a navigation aid for vessels moving through the bay's shipping channels.

Construction of the lighthouse began in 1901, with the structure becoming operational by 1905 to improve shipping safety in the area. This project represented an important step forward in maritime infrastructure development along Maryland's coast.

The structure represents early 20th century American maritime engineering and continues to serve as an educational resource for nautical history enthusiasts.

The lighthouse is accessible to visitors exploring the Chesapeake Bay waterway, with warmer months providing the most pleasant visiting conditions. You can observe the structure from the water during boat trips through the bay.

The location's name comes from sailors who once found no fixed point for navigation during difficult conditions. This naming tradition reflects the challenges the area presented to early maritime travel.
