So Much to Love on Virginia’s Eastern Shore

When you think of romance, what comes to mind?

While romance is often associated with big cities, expensive gifts, and all the glitz and glamor, we tend of think of it a little differently on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. There’s something just a little extra special about romance in a small coastal town. On Valentine’s Day, slow down and enjoy time with your loved one on our beautiful Eastern Shore.

Stroll the historic streets, wander the beaches, and enjoy the incredible winter sunsets. Enjoy the gentle ocean breeze and watch the wildlife like birds, ponies, and more.

Each town features their own quaint restaurants and cafes, perfect for a romantic evening out. Whether it’s a candlelit dinner at a cozy bistro or a romantic picnic on the beach, the possibilities are endless. As you explore the hidden gems of our small towns, you will find an abundance of romantic things to do. From wine tastings to a romantic stroll along the pier, there is something for everyone.

Small coastal towns are the perfect setting for your Valentine’s celebration. Whether you are just starting out or have been together for years, each town’s romantic atmosphere will make it a day to remember. Celebrating with a group of friends? Enjoy brunch and shopping in the morning and then chase the sunset or go bird watching on our natural area preserves. Focusing on loving yourself this year? Wander a wildlife refuge, enjoy the peace of winter time on the coast, and reconnect with yourself on our Shore.

While you’re in town, make sure to take advantage of Valentine’s related events. From Love the Locals in Cape Charles, Death by Chocolate on Chincoteague, to all the great specials in the town of Onancock,you’ve got so much to enjoy. Check out our events page for all the details!
