Lovely place to walk and take pictures by the water. Very relaxing and easy walk, I believe it’s about 2 miles and it takes you down by the decoy museum and the lighthouse is always a popular spot. It’s a pretty place for a wedding and a popular picture spot.

Concord Point provides an important lesson in early 19th Century Havre de Grace history. The Point itself was the location of efforts to defend the city during the War of 1812. Ironically the classic light house made of granite from nearby Port Deposit was not constructed until 15 years later. Although not functioning as a light house today, it did operate for longer than others in the Chesapeake region. The site includes well maintained walkways, a pier along the waterfront, the light house keepers house, informative historical plaques, and the cannon that tried to hold off the British invaders. Concord Point is a must see for everyone visiting the city.
