Virginia Eastern Shore
A working waterfront, quiet channels, island shops, and neighboring Assateague give Chincoteague a wild, distinctive character.
What makes it special
Chincoteague brings together a working-waterfront town and the protected beauty of neighboring Assateague. Island shops, seafood, marinas, quiet channels, wild ponies, and the wildlife refuge create a coastal life shaped as much by nature as by the beach.
