This was everything everyone has said! the drive to the garden was majestic, even though the leaves had all fallen and the garden was not in bloom, it was beautiful to just imagine.

I visited on the second to last Sat they were open. Not too many vendors, but I was able to spend over $40 so I would say they had all that I and my friends needed. The vendor with the shopping bags made out of feed bags was there. I had purchased 2 in Sept, and 2 more this visit. White Ravins Market was there and we were able to thank them for the wonderful Smith Island cake that I had purchased from their store. We also bought their crab cakes and tomato pie and pumpkin role. Freshly shucked oysters were also purchased and brought home and fried. Very delicious. I could go on and on. A fun place to shop.

Learned so much about wool, sheep and the history of spinning. There was a lot of hands on teaching from Karyn Belknap. She is an extraordinary shepherdess and spinner.

At nearly 18 miles long, this bridge-tunnel complex is one of the engineering wonders of the world. Connecting Virginia's Eastern Shore with Virginia's mainland in Virginia Beach/Norfolk, this toll facility will save travelers 90 miles or more as they travel from points north of Wilmington, Delaware and head down the East Coast towards Virginia Beach or North Carolina's Outer Banks. Enjoy a stop at the Scenic Overlook, located on the southern tip of Virginia's Eastern Shore, offering breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay and the facility. AND, if you want to take home a remembrance of your travels, visit Virginia Originals Gift Shop, located inside the Welcome Center and Rest Area at the North Toll Plaza on Virginia's Eastern Shore. Construction of the Parallel Thimble Shoal Tunnel is underway and the facility will remain open to traffic throughout construction. Upon completion, a new fishing pier will open on the southernmost island in 2024. Don't forget your E-ZPass!

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge is an incredible sight. You drive for several miles over the bay and the views are breathtaking. You can see many ships in the bay and enjoy the smell of saltwater all the way across. Definitely a to do item.

Visited at off season, November 2020. Light house was closed due to covid, but still a sight for sore eyes. The walk up is quick and easy- great photo ops. Make sure to read the little plaque behind the house off to the side. Great place to stop and visit.
8. Captain Timothy Hill House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 135 reviews
The Captain Timothy Hill House was built circa 1800 and is the oldest known house on Chincoteague Island. Originally built to have a wooden chimney...the replica of that chimney is now in place. Listed on The National Register of Historic Places and The Virginia Landmarks Register in 2011...a visit to this house is a step back in time to the early life on the island. Open to the public during the summer season with tours on Fridays 1-3 PM. Other times by appointment. Admission is free but donations are greatly appreciated.

This was a lovely place to see. It is sort of a rough path to walk on but easy enough for a stroller or perhaps a scooter. Good parking and a good place to see boats and the marina.
