In Piney Point on the St. Mary’s County shoreline where the Potomac meets the Chesapeake, the Ruddy Duck is a Southern Maryland waterfront gem with a strong craft beer program, exceptional local seafood, and the most southerly waterfront perspective on Maryland’s western shore. The view across the wide Potomac toward Virginia is striking, the oysters are local, and the craft beer selection puts it in the company of the Bay’s best serious waterfront drinking destinations. Named for the diving duck that winters on the lower Bay.
