The Eastern Shore of Virginia is comprised of two counties, Accomack and Northampton located at the southern tip of the Delmarva Peninisula on the East Coast of the United States.
Nicknamed "The Land Between Two Waters", visitors to the area are afforded the unique opportunity to be within only a few miles of both the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean!
The Eastern Shore of Virginia is less than 20 miles wide at its broadest point, 75 miles long and is split down the middle by Route 13, providing easy access to many of the picturesque towns that populate the area. It is home to approximately 696 square miles of rich farmland, undisturbed beaches and wildlife, and small towns rich in history and culture. Conveniently situated, many larger East Coast cities are within short day trips, including Baltimore, MD (140 miles), Norfolk, VA (45 miles), Washington, D.C. (150 miles), and Richmond, VA (125 miles).
