Cape Charles - A Beachfront Treasure on the Eastern Shore of Virginia
Story by Bonna L. Nelson, Photography by Bonna Nelson and Angie Myers
Have you ever wondered what's cookin' at the end of the roads off of Route 13 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia -- that narrow peninsula surrounded by the great Chesapeake Bay on one side and the mighty Atlantic Ocean on the other? Whenever we travel to or from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, I always wish that we had more time to explore that area, expecting to find quaint towns, wonderful beaches and delicious seafood.
My wish came true when we recently had the opportunity to explore one of those towns off of Rt. 13 - historic Cape Charles, VA, on the southern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula, and it did not disappoint.

With spanking new docks on the harbor front and a can-do attitude, Cape Charles, Va., takes a big step toward prime time.
I'd only been back in Cape Charles for about ten minutes, but it was already clear to me that something had changed. The new floating docks--44 new slips plus T-heads, as it turns out--were the obvious outward sign, as was a local restaurant open for dinner on a Sunday night in what might still constitute the off-season.
