The Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse, a National Historic Landmark, stands as a testament to maritime history in the Chesapeake Bay, where it has served as an active navigational beacon since 1875. This unique structure is the last screw-pile lighthouse in its original position within the bay, offering visitors a glimpse into the past. Today, guests can explore the lighthouse and learn about its role in guiding ships through the waters, experiencing the same views and conditions that have been a constant for over a century.
