Your golf cart is waiting….Ĭape Charles is on our list of 20 Surprisingly Romantic Getaways in VA. My latest visit in September 2019 just so happened to be on the heels of writers from Coastal Living Magazine and the Washington Post – and concurrent with production staff of HGTV’s “Budget Beach House.” To avoid the crowds, plan a few days here off-season to chill out and get to know the locals. LOVE Cape Charles VAĪnd it’s also being discovered. As with most towns on the Delmarva Peninsula, Cape Charles is genuinely warm and welcoming. These ubiquitous vehicles give the town a golf-club vibe, though not a snobby one.

Beach at SunsetĬape Charles is also a beach and fishing town – small enough to manage with a golf cart. Cape Charles VA Water TowerĬape Charles is surprisingly suave and sophisticated, with a European style coffee shop, great restaurants, friendly indie shops, a Brewery, Distillery, and Cidery, B&B’s and a cool main street boutique hotel. It has turned what is generally an eyesore into a work of art. For motorists who arrive by car, you can’t miss the black water tower built in 1996 as a replica of the Cape Charles Lighthouse. WHY GO: Cape Charles VA, a pristine Chesapeake Bay beach town, was developed as a “planned community” by the railroad and ferry company in 1884, and now draws an increasingly upscale crowd.
