Is there anything more classy and peaceful than a gazebo?
From ancient Egypt to the Renaissance Era to modern times, the gazebo has been a mainstay in gardens and beautiful locations around the world. On the Eastern Shore of Virginia, gazebos are very popular and it is easy to find them in public places to enjoy an afternoon on the coast. Check out our gazebos around the Shore and add them to your itinerary for your Eastern Shore trip. Explore one near you or check them all out for a great, family friendly activity to step back from your everyday hustle and reconnect with those you love.
Kiptopeke State Park
At the head of the trails on the state park is the beautiful, rustic gazebo. Be sure to take a moment to enjoy the gazebo during a beautiful afternoon on Kiptopeke. Just a short walk away is the Hawk Watch platform and it’s a short drive from the beach!
Cape Charles Beach
Right across the dunes from the beach, enjoy the beautiful gazebo in Cape Charles. It’s just a short walk from the shops, romantic inns, and fabulous places to enjoy artisan foods and drinks.
Cape Charles Central Park
Enjoy the beautiful Cape Charles Central Park gazebo while you are strolling through town. Take a break on the benches and enjoy the colors of the sunset during your stay.
Wachapreague Seaside Park
With a breathtaking view over the seaside of Virginia’s Eastern Shore, the Wachapreague gazebo is a fabulous photo opportunity! Grab a meal or just a drink at the Island House while you’re in town and catch a boat ride to the Barrier Islands with one of our fabulous boat captains.
Onancock Memorial Park
Just around the corner from the shops and dining in Onancock is the beautiful gazebo in the memorial park. Be sure to also visit the wharf while you are down that way! This is a great place to visit on your way to or from the Tangier Ferry, which leaves out of the Onancock Wharf.
Chincoteague Veteran’s Memorial Park
Overlooking the water, the gazebos at the Chincoteague Veteran’s Memorial Park provide a peaceful, beautiful space. In between launching your boat, playing tennis or basketball, letting your kids climb on the playground equipment, or catching crabs, be sure to take a moment to enjoy the gazebos!
Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge
Hike along the trail to the Assateague Lighthouse on the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and you will find a classic gazebo! This hidden gym is the perfect photo spot with the lighthouse in the background or a great spot to stop for some shade when it’s warm.
