The population was officially 536 at the 2000 census, although residents of the [[Calvert Beach-Long Beach, Maryland]] community also use the St. Leonard zip code designation, making it in fact a much larger community. It contains a large antique dealer complex, and is a few miles north of the popular weekend resort town [[Solomons, Maryland]]. The opening scene of the 1993 [[Clint Eastwood]] film [[In the Line of Fire]] was filmed at the Flag Harbor Marina in St. Leonard.

St. Leonard has a small central business district with several small shops, gas stations, and an independent grocery store originally owned and operated by former [[Calvert County]] Commissioner [[Patrick Buehler]]. St. Leonard also has a volunteer [[fire department]] which has hosted numerous high profile musical acts, including [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]] and [[Hootie and the Blowfish]] at an outdoor pavilion adjacent to the fire department.

Notable places of interest in the St. Leonard area include [[Flag Ponds Nature Park]], a nature preserve along the [[Chesapeake Bay]], and Jefferson Patterson State Park, home to an annual [[Celts|Celtic]] festival, the State's archaeological facility, and site of several key [[naval]] battles fought in the [[Patuxent River]] during the [[War of 1812]].
