Piney Point Attractions

The U-1105 Black Panther, a World War II-era German submarine, lies at the bottom of the Potomac about one mile offshore from Piney Point. The submarine surrendered to the British at the end of World War II and was selected by the U.S. Navy as a target for explosives testing. It is Maryland's first underwater diving preserve.

The Piney Point Lighthouse was constructed in 1836 and is the only remaining accessible lighthouse in its original location. The Lighthouse Lens Museum tells the story of the Potomac River lighthouses, the role of the United States Coast Guard and the draw of Piney Point for the social elite.
