This month's South Eastern Virginia blog is Cape Charles, located on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. This town is one of my favorite places, and I couldn't be more excited to share it. On the National Register of Historic Places, it has one of the largest concentrations of late 19th-century and early 20th-century architecture. It is nestled next to the Chesapeake Bay, with a large beach and long fishing pier. The downtown consists of one-of-a-kind boutiques, great restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops. I was able to have lunch at The Shanty and overlooked the water while enjoying my food. Their independent bookstore is impressive, and the Gull Hummock Gourmet Shop has so many treats and a vast selection of wines. The Marina Village has an oyster farm, restaurant, and cottages for the perfect weekend getaway for a more modern feel. Take a look at the pictures below, birds-eye views from the drone, the architecture, and the food. Let me know if you love this place as much as I do.
In 2022 I will be featuring a different city or town in southeastern Virginia and using all my photographic skills, drone, food photography, and architectural photography.
I hope it will open my eyes to new places close to my home and inspire some of you to visit.
