Virginia’s Best Beach for Kids 📍 Cape Charles, VA The charming beach town of Cape Charles has ~5 blocks of beachfront on the Chesapeake Bay. The water is incredibly calm & very shallow - perfect for children & families! Cape Charles Town Beach is the *only* public beach on the Eastern Shore that doesn’t have an entrance/parking fee. This free public beach is also located in the historic district of town, and you can walk to shops, restaurants & boutiques. While most families stay in beach rentals, Hotel Cape Charles is a boutique hotel located ~3 blocks from the beach. It offers complimentary breakfast, beach towels & chairs for guests 😉 Don’t forget to rent a golf cart too - they are street legal around town! We ❤️ it because: 1️⃣ the water is *very* shallow - easy for everyone to play & swim. 2️⃣ the water is *very* calm - no big waves! 3️⃣ during low tide, there are a lot of sand bars - my kids loved *finding* islands. 4️⃣ you can easily spot shells & hermit crabs 5️⃣ you can fish from Cape Charles Fishing Pier - we saw sea otters & sting rays on our recent trip! 6️⃣ food trucks come right to the beach - you can grab hot dogs, smash burgers, shaved ice & more! ⚠️ Dogs are not permitted on the beach between 9am-8pm from May 1st through Labor Day.

Day trip to Cap Charles! I guess it was the 2 1/2 hr car ride that made him immediately walk out into the Chesapeake Bay….and just keep going. 😅 The water was super shallow, never reaching his waist and so clear! He was just going to walk until he couldn’t….but I wasnt too fond of that plan. #capecharles #daytrip #springbreak #comeback #lan#landclosertohome#yourhomegirlottglassrealtor @amytownerealtor Have a question regarding Real Estate, contact me 📲804.301.3568 📧 Amy.Towne@Compass.com 📸 @amytownerealtor 📲 804.837.1754 📧 Scott.Glass@Compass.con 📸 @scottglassrealtor 🏡 🏡 🏡 #mid#midlothianVae#chesterfieldVaA#RVAea#realestateagenta#realtorlifed#midlothianvarealestatea#realtore#chesterfieldrealestatea#rvarealestateG#RSGCommunitya#realestateagente#chesterfieldVARealtorom#compassmpassrva

The beach is perfect. In April it is still cool, but beautiful. The town in April leaves a lot to be desired. There are 3 coffee shops and two bakeries. The bakeries open only on the weekends. On Tuesday there was literally not one place open in the entire town to get a cup of coffee. On Wednesdays there is one coffee shop open at 9 but there was a line by 8:45 and all of the outdoor tables were full before it opened. Tuesday night there were two restaurants open in the entire historic district and both had more than an hour wait. So my advice is that if you come before May there is nothing to do besides the beach. The water is too cold to swim and the fishing captains say the fish aren’t biting. There are only 6 stores open in town during the week and they were very cute but we had gone through them all in an hour,
