Cape Charles VA
Cape Charles is a small town on Virginia's Eastern Shore with a great location on the Chesapeake Bay. The town is located about 10 miles north of the the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, making it a pretty convenient trip from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.
The town was founded in 1884 as a planned community to serve railroad and ferry traffic. The Little Creek - Cape Charles Ferry used to depart from here before the Bay Bridge Tunnel was constructed. Railway barges still leave from Cape Charles, taking cargo trains across the bay.
There are several restaurants and shops in the town's historic downtown district, as well as some restaurants in the Bay Creek Resort area of town. Bay Creek is a residential development with very attractive Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklus signature golf courses.
The town of Cape Charles has a half mile long sandy beach that's free to the public. The water here is calm, so it's a nice place for families with small children. There's a public pier for fishing located adjacent to the beach. More information about the beach and pier.
Additional beach access is available at Kiptopeake State Park, which is about a 15 minute drive from town.
