Cape Charles, VA

Cape Charles anchors Virginia's Eastern Shore at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, accessible via the famous 17.6-mile Bay Bridge-Tunnel on US-13. This former railroad town of 1,200 has reinvented itself as a coastal destination with Victorian charm and waterfront recreation. The town's historic mile-long fishing pier, once part of a car ferry operation, now draws anglers and sightseers to its waters.
