Cape Charles, Virginia is the Eastern Shore's best kept secret!
It is a mile square historic, quaint town tucked between 2 championship golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. The historic section is extremely walkable with sidewalks lining both sides. Marina Village is adjacent to the historical section and boosts a gated community with its own private beach.
