Explore the Historic Charm of Baltimore Harbor Light

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from any location in Eastern Shore, start by getting onto US-50 W toward Washington. Continue on US-50 W for approximately 30 miles until you reach the Bay Bridge. Cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (toll: $2.50 for two-axle vehicles). After crossing, follow the signs to stay on US-50 W, which becomes I-97 N. Merge onto I-695 N toward Towson and then take exit 1B for I-95 N toward Wilmington. Take exit 50 for I-895 S toward Point Breeze. Follow I-895 S and exit onto Eastern Ave. Follow this road until you reach the waterfront area near the Baltimore Harbor Light, which is situated on the Chesapeake Bay. Parking is available in the nearby harbor area.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Baltimore Harbor Light via public transportation, first take a local bus from your location in Eastern Shore to the nearest train station, such as the Easton or Salisbury station. From there, take an Amtrak or MARC train heading toward Baltimore. Once you arrive at Baltimore Penn Station, transfer to the Metro SubwayLink or the Light RailLink. Take the Light RailLink toward Hunt Valley and get off at the Baltimore Arena stop. From there, it's about a 20-minute walk to the harbor area where the Baltimore Harbor Light is located. Be prepared for a small fare for the train and light rail services, which typically costs around $5-$10 depending on your starting point.

• Boat Tour

  Another unique way to reach Baltimore Harbor Light is by booking a boat tour from the Baltimore waterfront. You can find several companies offering sightseeing cruises that include views of the harbor light. Check with local tour operators for availability and pricing, which generally ranges from $30 to $50 per person for a round trip. Make sure to book in advance, especially during the summer tourist season, as spots can fill up quickly.
