When the summer sun sets on another season, Cape Charles, Virginia remains alive. Cape Charles’ off-season delivers a calm and relaxing pace filled with leisurely mornings and unhurried afternoons on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.

Chilly waters don’t slow things down here, get out and explore the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Nearby Savage Neck Dunes Natural Area Preserve and Kiptopeke State Park showcase the natural beauty of the Eastern Shore year-round with scenic trails, wildlife viewing, and quiet moments in untouched landscapes. Take to the water and plan a guided boat tour, a seaplane ride, or for the freshest catch – a fishing charter.

In town visit the Cape Charles Museum or library, stroll through local boutiques, and taste award-winning local cuisine from spots like The Shanty, Hook @ Harvey, and AJ’s Bar & Grill. Sample locally made spirits at Cape Charles Distillery or sip a local brew at Cape Charles Brewing Company.

As the holidays approach, Festive Fridays light up our signature main street, Mason Avenue, with live music, local vendors, and plenty of activities for children and adults. The Northampton High School Marching Band leads a parade, Mr. and Mrs. Claus visit, and a free holiday movie plays each week in our theater – all for four Fridays in a row starting November 28. Each having its own unique dates, the Lighted Golf Cart Parade, Grand Illumination in Central Park, and Historic Cookie Trail will not disappoint!
