Wachapreague is located on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Some refer to this area as Virginia's stepchild. Very few people from Virginia know anything about the Eastern Shore. There are no well marked signs in Va Beach that would direct you to the shore. Most Eastern shore folks are glad and want nothing to do with the over crowded areas of the city moving to their quiet shores. Wachapreague is located on the Atlantic Ocean. The fishing is a vast treasure and it has been known as the flouder capital of the U.S. The town marina's are home to several charter boat captian's where the tuna fishing can be an unknown treasure of the East Coast. The most famous captains would be, Lucky Dawg Charters of Wachapreague Marina and The Hobo. The history of the shore is charismatic filled with old fisherman and great heritage of watermen with handed down stories of the sea.
The sourrounding area's are just as rich in history and stories of the water.
Even if you wouldn't want to spend the rest of your life in this place where time has seemed to stand still it's a place worth stopping by. You can charter a boat, enjoy a nice dinner in town, rent a small boat to take you to one of the seculded islands within sight of the shore or just walk around the town and take it all in. It's one stop everyone should make at least once in their life time.
