Chincoteague
Island, Virginia's only resort island, is perhaps the most beautiful island on Virginia's
Eastern Shore.
World famous for its oyster beds and clam shoals, this picturesque
island is the gateway to the National Seashore and the Chincoteague Wildlife Refuge.
Adventure awaits everywhere as history and legend blend with the wild loveliness of the
seasonal shore.
This serene fishing village, seven miles
long and one and one-half miles wide and abounding with history and natural charm,
welcomes you to explore its unique island heritage.
Chincoteague
Island provides services to suit every need and taste. Shop at the local grocery, drug,
merchandise, or hardware store; explore the specialty shops en route to a dining
experience. There is even a medical center right on the island for those away from home.
The island is the home of many outstanding craftsmen and artists who
produce some of the world's finest hand-carved duck decoys and reproductions of nature's
soaring wildfowl.
