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.

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.
