Review & FAQ:

Located about 10 miles from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, on Virginia's eastern shore, Cape Charles is a charming small coastal town with a lovely public beach stretched along Bay Avenue and with easy access from almost every block.

Cape Charles Beach is very popular with families with kids because the water is clean, shallow, and warm with no waves at all, making swimming a delight for the kids and peace of mind for the parents.

There are two wooden access points with benches and view platforms that offer the perfect spot for watching magnificent sunsets.

There is also a nice fishing pier and a pavilion with benches for public events and celebrations.
