Piney Point is a historic waterfront community located in St. Mary's County, Maryland, situated along the Potomac River. This small coastal village has played various roles in American maritime history, most notably as the site of the Piney Point Lighthouse, constructed in 1836 to guide vessels along the Potomac River.

The area served as a popular resort destination in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, attracting presidents and Washington elite who sought respite from the capital's summer heat. During World War II, the area gained strategic importance as a training facility for the U.S. Merchant Marine.

Today, Piney Point maintains its maritime heritage through the Piney Point Lighthouse Museum and Historic Park, which preserves and shares the area's rich nautical history and cultural significance in the Chesapeake Bay region.
