Boating excursions on the bay, around the barrier islands, or to Tangier Island are available. Chincoteague and Asateague Islands are only a short drive away. Other outdoor pursuits include golf at Bay Creek and Arnold Palmer's World Class PGA Signature Golf Course and visits to the Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge or The Nature Conservancy. Nearby Kiptopeke State Park, located at the tip of the Eastern Shore, is one of the state's newer parks. The Eastern Shore is well known for bird-watching and naturalists as a migratory path for birds and butterflies in the spring and fall.
History permeates the villages and towns.
Nearby Eastville has the oldest continuous court records in America, dating to 1632. A self-guided historic walking tour of Cape Charles, as well as antique shopping and weekend country auction sales, make pleasant diversions. The Turner Bronze Foundry and Gallery and the NASA Wallops Island Visitors Center are also of interest. We welcome boating guests from the Chesapeake Bay.
