2. Kiptopeke State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 282 reviews
One of the best spots for bird-watching.
Reviewed By JC0420 - Cape Charles, United States
We go hiking and bird watching all year at Kiptopeke State Park. Because it is in the eastern most part of the state it is a very well used flyway for migrating birds. They also have a really nice Hawk watching station. The Park has an excellent boat ramp. The boat ramp may be a little crowded at times but if you are willing to wait a few minutes there is always a slot to launch and a place to park your truck and trailer. Finally, the Park also has a really nice beach so lots to enjoy.

Great exhibits and trails at the southern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula! If you are in the area for an extended stay there are guided tours of Fishermans Island! There is also a 6 mile bike that connects with the Kiptopeake State Park!
4. Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 884 reviews
At nearly 18 miles long, this bridge-tunnel complex is one of the engineering wonders of the world. Connecting Virginia's Eastern Shore with Virginia's mainland in Virginia Beach/Norfolk, this toll facility will save travelers 90 miles or more as they travel from points north of Wilmington, Delaware and head down the East Coast towards Virginia Beach or North Carolina's Outer Banks. Enjoy a stop at the Scenic Overlook, located on the southern tip of Virginia's Eastern Shore, offering breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay and the facility. AND, if you want to take home a remembrance of your travels, visit Virginia Originals Gift Shop, located inside the Welcome Center and Rest Area at the North Toll Plaza on Virginia's Eastern Shore. Construction of the Parallel Thimble Shoal Tunnel is underway and the facility will remain open to traffic throughout construction. Upon completion, a new fishing pier will open on the southernmost island in 2024. Don't forget your E-ZPass!

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge is an incredible sight. You drive for several miles over the bay and the views are breathtaking. You can see many ships in the bay and enjoy the smell of saltwater all the way across. Definitely a to do item.
5. Cape Charles Beach
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Airisian - Northern Virginia, United States
We've been to Cape Charles several times now and love this beach with young children because of the very gentle waves, plentiful soft sand, and very shallow waters for even the youngest toddlers to play in.
