The Cove Point Light is a lighthouse located on the west side of Chesapeake Bay in Calvert County, Maryland.

[2][3][4] This light was built in 1828 by John Donahoo, who erected a brick conical tower along the plan he had used at several other sites in the Bay.

A fog bell added in 1837 was moved several times and was mounted on both wood and iron towers before ending up on the roof of a wooden shed built in 1902 to house a foghorn.

The light was in good condition, with much equipment remaining from prior years, when it was turned over to Calvert County in 2000.

Cove Point remains an active aid to navigation and is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the Chesapeake Bay.
