On the water - Historic Downtown Onancock. Great casual place to drink a beer on the outside deck and enjoy seafood, crab cakes, salads and more. They often have live entertainment on the weekends. My personal favorites are The Mallard Salad, The Clerk sandwich and the crab cake.

Day Trips
A day trip to the beach with sand and surf. There is a lighthouse nature trails, wild Chincoteague ponies, putt-putt golf, Maui Jims Water Park and much more. It is a bit crowded and touristy for my taste but if you're looking for entertainment then its worth the trip. Be sure to go to THE ISLAND CREAMERY for the best ice cream ever.

Take the Onancock Ferry to Tangier to step back in time. This island located in the Chesapeake Bay is inhabited by people and is an interesting day trip. ( weather permitting)
