Get on board and see Virginia’s coastline, rivers, and lakes from a different perspective.
Best view of the coastline is from the water.
With thousands of miles of beautiful coastline and meandering waterways, Virginia offers plenty of opportunities for boaters, and the state’s many marinas are the perfect starting points for exploring the shore.
The marina at The Tides Inn is located on Carters Creek, 11 nautical miles from Windmill Point. It accommodates vessels ranging from small weekend cruisers to 150-foot yachts, and just opened 12 all-new day-use boat slips for short-term guests who want to lunch at the inn or visit nearby Irvington. Plus, the inn rents both small electric Duffy boats and larger pontoon cruisers so you can putter around Carters Creek even if you don’t own a boat.
The Town of Cape Charles Harbor & Marina boasts 95 slips and 1,200 feet of dock space for commercial, industrial, and recreational vessels. There, you can watch watermen unload their catch, charter a fishing trip, dock your own boat for a visit to Cape Charles, or use the ramp to launch your boat for a day of play on the water.
Across the Bay, Hampton’s Merrimac Shores Marina has 95 long-term rental slips in protected waters, offering quick access to sailing, fishing, or recreational fun.
