The Salt Marshes, between Virginia’s barrier islands and the Eastern Shore’s mainland, are teeming with flora and fauna. Explore this beautiful part of the state with Chesapean Outdoors nature tours. Paddle through the marshes, listen to the birds, and stop by the deserted beach of Metompkin Island.
Other adventures this Virginia Beach outfitter offers include paddling above the sand flats of Broad Bay on the border of First Landing State Park. The park has the largest concentration of osprey in the area and several pairs of resident bald eagles. For a more heart-pounding adventure, join their Dolphin Ocean Adventure around Cape Henry and spot dolphins among the waves. For those who prefer to expend less adrenaline, the Calm Water Dolphin Trip or Dolphin Kayaking in Chesapeake Bay are two options. Chesapean.com
