Things to Do in Locust Point

Locust Point is a tight-knit peninsula neighborhood at the mouth of the harbor, best known as the home of Fort McHenry, the birthplace of the Star-Spangled Banner. History anchors the area, but Locust Point has grown into a relaxed destination in its own right, with waterfront apartments, a marina, and a friendly cluster of taverns and restaurants. Visitors come for the fort's ramparts and ranger programs, then stay for harbor views, casual dinners, and neighborhood bars with real character. Quieter than the tourist core yet just minutes from it, Locust Point offers a genuine slice of maritime Baltimore.
