Getting Around
Cape Charles is located near the southern tip of Virginia’s Eastern Shore right on the Chesapeake Bay. Cape Charles is a small town (the historic area is roughly a six block by six block square) that sits on the peninsula’s western coast… meaning you can sit on the beach in Cape Charles and watch the sunset right over the water. On the Chesapeake Bay, not the Atlantic Ocean, the water is calm and shallow. The picturesque town of Cape Charles is filled with Americana, all about family and beautiful surroundings, voted one of the Happiest Seaside Towns by Coastal Living. Let the beach be your playground! Check out the walkable retail district, schedule a tee time at one of Bay Creek's award-winning golf courses, or take a water adventure for fishing and cruising. Traveling to/around Cape Charles, Virginia: • Taxi Cabs [i.e., Cape Charles Cab Cart and Carriage, Champion Cab, Rudy's Taxicab Services] • STAR Transit, local fixed route and bus service • Uber, Lyft • Bike/Cycling [Rentals: Poseidon Watersports, Trek Bicycle Virginia Beach, Rent Beach Buggies] Airports: • Norfolk International Airport (about 45 min by vehicle) • Newport News Williamsburg International Airport (PHF) • Accomack County Airport (MFV) • Norfolk Ns (Chambers Fld) Airport (NGU) • Langley Air Force Base (LFI) Popular Landmarks: • Cape Charles Museum and Welcome Center • Kiptopeke State Park • Cape Charles Natural Area Preserve • Cape Charles Lighthouse • Cape Charles Town Beach • Cape Charles Brewing Company
