Before this trip I had never even heard of Cape Charles, VA. It was about a 4 hour drive for me from the Baltimore Metro area past Ocean City, MD. I really enjoyed this beach. The sand was very nice and clean. The water was soo very clear you should see the small fish in the bay. Parking was very easy and open. There were a few families with small children but still no where near crowed which allow lots of room to sprawl out for my group and the Rest and Relaxation I was looking for within a short drive.

Évaluation du lieu : 4 Virginia Beach, VA
I was absolutely surprised at how much I enjoyed my few days at Cape Charles Beach. Although I have driven by the area i have never went onto the beach. Cape Charles itself is a destination if you have not been to you should. Lots of quaint shops and my new favorite brown dog ice-cream. But the beach is a real selling point to the community in the Summer. Parking is all off street and was plentiful on the weekday that I visited. The selling points to the beach are that it’s wide, clean and the Chesapeake Bay is so warm. A drawback for those that wants waves is to move on, this is not your beach. It is a family beach as I witnessed. There are public restrooms, but no areas that i could find to just rinse off, but not saying that I did not miss them. There is a nice fishing pier that I will include in this review since there is no check-in for it. I also witnessed many family fishing off the pier and having a great time. There was some debris around, but nothing huge. There were also some boards that needed shored up, but overall I felt safe. It’s a nice place for photos as is the VALOVE sign at the entrance to the pier. Most of who will read this review will be in HRVA. It is only a 35 min drive across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and usually no traffic and no back ups which is refreshing for us. It is worth a day trip to see what this lovely area has to offer.
