What our visitors are saying
Whether it’s because of the spectacular scenery, friendly locals, or the tranquil spirit that pervades the town, Cape Charles has a way of winning people over.
“We have been bringing our teenagers and their friends to Cape Charles twice a summer for the last several years. They LOVE it! The calm waters, the quiet town, the Fourth of July parade, taking golf carts to Deadrise pizza after a day on the beach — and of course Brown Dog Ice Cream every night! If you’re looking for the perfect family vacation, this is it! An adorable small beach town tucked away on the Eastern Shore, full of life and adventure for kids of all ages.”
Heather Williams, Virginia Beach
“A Victorian-era planned community near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, Cape Charles is enjoying a bona fide renaissance as urban exiles discover its brick storefronts, public beach and fishing pier, fresh seafood, and nationally ranked golf courses.”
Coastal Living, America’s Happiest Seaside Towns
“It has been really amazing to watch this town spring back to life and be revitalized, beautified, and enjoyed. Especially because the historic area is home to hundreds of beautiful 100+ year old houses, many of which needed a lot of love, and many of which have been lovingly restored.”
