Cape Charles Beach

This is not a huge beach but it's beautiful and clean with soft powdery white sand. There is easy parking and you can walk the length of it and find somewhere the sit and enjoy the ocean and waves. It has a few piers and a miniature Neptune Statue (King Neptune from 31st St in Virginia Beach) at one end and a Virginia "LOVE" sign at the other that is perfect for a family photo op. I love this beach. I'm not much of a sand and sun person but this is a lovely smaller beach.

Lovely beach and a cute town. We went late in the season (September) and the locals seemed to be over all the visitors. Can't say that I blame them but the tourists provide income, so it's sort of a good thing to be patient and kind to them.

We took a short stroll along the beach. It's early April and there is a slight chill in the air.The beach was not crowded and the sand fine white. Beautiful. The best was their statue of King Neptune, he is so handsome and strong!

Full disclosure, we didn't swim here. We had a golf cart while we were in Cape Charles and found ourselves zipping up to this periodically to check out the view and enjoy the Greek god statue prominently on display near the street. It's an absolutely beautiful statue that illuminates gorgeously amongst a blue sky.Being from Cleveland, I never quite got used to their body of water not having waves. But I could definitely appreciate the pristine, neat beach as a huge asset to this community! The Cape Charles beaches are more wading pools, and because of that, you'll see many families relaxing about.I can appreciate this beach's easy access to the historic main street district and the close proximity to where most of the houses are located. If you're visiting Cape Charles, you'll most certainly find yourself stopping at this white-sanded beach to take in the sites.

This a beautiful beach with sand dunes and calm waves on the "bay side" which is ideal for small kids. Our family stopped in late December to check out the public fishing pier, which is easy to find and begins near the LOVE sign. The water is clean and the light white sand resembled an ocean beach. Street parking was free and easy to find. The length of the fishing pier and nice displays of different types of fish available to catch in the Chesapeake Bay were pleasant surprises. Also, you have a tremendous view of the expansive bay with large container ships on the horizon. Although it was too cold and blustery for us to remain on the pier for an extended period of time, we hope to return when it's warmer!

Perfect getaway for families with little kids. Calm water with tiny waves, shallow, soft sand . Quick to access with parking on street. Short walk to haul beach stuff from car. Nearby fishing pier, "Love" sign, and restrooms. Super close to town. A hidden gem.

My family and I made it in time before another down pour of rain . This beach is absolutely beautiful. I loved the long board walk to get to the beach or either it stretches out as if you wanted to go fishing. Definitely check out this beach you won't be disappointed.

It's a stretch of public beach on the bay, which is something that actually doesn't happen all that much. So much of the bay is either not amenable to visitors or is privately owned. It was very shallow water with ample seaweed, and besides the pier, there were plenty of other places for activities, windsurfing included. It's easy to park around here, and there were restrooms, which were depicted as being a boy scout project (and which did not lock! Use caution). It's pleasant, but not exciting, worth visiting only as part of a greater trip.

Cape Charles Beach is a awesome waterfront beach located on the "bay side" of Cape Charles on the Eastern Shore. I've visited this beach often over the years as we have family friends living over in Cape Charles. The sand is almost white and the water is never to rough like it can get over on the sea side of the Eastern Shore. You can take long walks along both sides of the berm and the beach itself has 3 easy access points. Each access point also has a wooden walkway. My favorite is the south entrance by the big LOVE sign. That wooden walkway is actually a small pier and you can walk out quite a way and a have a great view of the downtown Cape Charles and the marina. All in all I highly suggest a visit. It's a great place for a family retreat or if you just want to spend some time with your significant other. There's plenty of bed & breakfasts around Cape Charles to make your stay comfortable.

In love! So cute! Small little beach! We love it hear! We have been trying to visit during the off peak times and it has been a win for us. The beach has never been packed. The water is pretty shallow throughout. It is very picturesque. The sand is soft, and fine. There are a few entrances off of the street. There is also free parking along the street. If you live in the Hampton Roads area it is about 60-75 min away. It is the perfect day trip!
