If you are planning to visit by boat, there are good, deep water, wharf areas for visitors on both the sea and bay sides of the area. If your desire is for biking, we have many "back" roads, flat and scenic. If kayaking suits your plans, the kayak outfitters will meet you most anywhere to sample the multitude of creeks and tributaries - both bay side and sea side including the barrier islands. And the fishing! It is simply great whether you want to fish near the shores, in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay & out in the Ocean. In fact one of our towns is known as the "flounder capitol of the world". Virginia's gateway to Tangier Island, which is a part of the Central portion, is the Onancock Wharf and the Captain Eulice passenger ferry. For historical buffs, visit museums throughout the area, including Kerr Place which is also headquarters for the Eastern Shore Historical Society. Their gift shop includes maps and guides for hiking, biking and historical tours. You can take advantage of the various activities; use the area as a central location for visiting other sections, or just lay-back in the quietude of your Virginia bed and breakfast. |
| This historic town joins architecture and beautiful views as no other community on the peninsula. This is a 320+ year old town, beautifully situated on the waters of Onancock Creek, and it is one of the Shore's most pleasant places. Onancock has a deep water port with access to the Chesapeake Bay and is also close to the Accomac Airport (great for private planes). And a food writer for a Maryland newspaper has dubbed Onancock as the epicurian capital of the Eastern Shore (Virginia and Maryland). |
