Point Lookout

Hi,

Anyone know what Point Lookout is like during the week? I want to take a day off work to spend with my grandmother who is visiting and thought it would be nice for her to go with my 2yr old son and I to the "beach". Any other "beach" ideas that are close by would be welcomed too.

Thanks!

Point Lookout is not very crowded during the week. You not only have the beach but some historical places of interest, a beautiful fishing pier to walk out on and a museum and of course Point Lookout Lighthouse,but that would not be open on a weekday but you can see it from the end of the road.
It is $5.00 per person for Maryland residents

I usually head over to Flag Ponds in Calvert. Costs a few bucks to get in (I think it's $6 for non-residents) but it's an easy walk to the beach, fishing pier, historical landmarks.

Link to breezy Point, i think there would be more to see and do at Point Lookout, or Flag ponds, to make a day of it.

Breezy Point & Campground

Point Lookout during the week goes off of donation's only. The 5.00 is for the weekends, and if you are military you can show your Military ID and get in free...
Point Lookout is a great place to go. I try to go down there at least once a week just to relax and watch the sunset it is so pretty down there.
