Cape Charles, Virginia Things to do
/With finishing The Peach House and celebrating one year of Summer Camp, I thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite Cape Charles places.
Around Town…
Beach, anytime, but particularly sunset or any low tide time is my favorite
The LOVE sign is a fun photo op - my kids insist we go every trip
Central Park - if you stay at our Peach house - you can see the park from our home! If you have young kids, there is a playground and we love to bring scooters to do laps in the park.
Stroll the downtown shops - Peach Street Books is a fave, Chessie’s toy shop, KCOAST, Table and Tonic…
If you love old homes, you’ll love strolling the streets of the historic district. Homes built from the 1800s to the early 1900s & lots of examples of unique architecture!
Renting a golf cart - if you stay at The Peach House, we have one available to rent
Kiptopeke State Park (short hikes - the beach is beautiful here)
Breakfast
We loved the Almeta below Hotel Cape Charles! They have added a new restaurant called Sonny’s.
Rayfield’s Pharmacy is fun to step back in time and enjoy a meal there! The breakfast is delicious!
We haven’t gone yet, but I have heard great things about Northampton Hotel’s breakfast.
Lunch or Dinner
Deadrise Pie is my favorite pizza - highly recommend!
Cravings (inside Table & Tonic) makes delicious to go sandwiches & salads
The Shanty (good seafood with a view)
Hook at Harvey (no kids under 12)
AJ’s Bar and Grill - we love the location of this (on Peach Street), American Food
Cape Charles Brewery - I prefer the beer to most food I have tried, but do recommend the burgers.
Mason Ave Bakery - Delicious sandwiches and breakfast options and sweets!
Cape Charles Distillery - No kids :)
Treats
Cowlick Creamery (they get less press than Brown dog, but they make their cones in house & my kids prefer it)
Peach Beach Shaved Ice - hours vary
Cape Charles Distillery (we never get to go here because we are always with our kids!)
Rainy Days
Cape Charles Library
Mason Ave shops
Exmore Antiquing - this is one of my favorite things to do!
