Easter Vacation 2021 Day 7 – Cape Charles, VA Day Trip

By Linda G. on April 7, 2021

Today, April 7th, is the 7th day of our Easter vacation.

We have awakened each morning of our vacation in time to watch the sun rise. Each sunrise that we have witnessed has been beautiful. This morning’s sunset, though, was more than beautiful; it was splendid.

We visited downtown Chincoteague this morning. We went window shopping along Main Street. The shops that interested me were closed until later in the day.

We walked back to our car the scenic way.

During our walk, we decided to drive to Cape Charles, VA–a place we had never been. Cape Charles is located about 66 miles south of Chincoteague.

A popular mode of transportation at Cape Charles appears to be golf carts.

We saw this golf cart and its passenger from our car.

Golf Carts provide transportation along the seashore.

We went for a walk alongside the beach and on the fishing pier.

It felt like summer, especially so when we saw people in swimsuits on the beach and in the water. The temperature was 75 degrees at noon!

The LOVEwork is located near the public fishing pier. It reflects the history and community by incorporating materials that represent what Cape Charles is all about. The “L” is made of sea glass and seashells to represent the bayside community. The “O” is a tractor tire to represent agriculture. The “V” is made of kayaks to represent outdoor adventure activities and the “E” is made of crab pots to represent aquaculture.

Leaving Cape Charles, we drove to Metopkin Seafood for lunch. Metopkin Seafood is located in Mappsville, VA about 50 miles north of Cape Charles. We were disappointed to find that Metopkin Seafood was still closed for the season. Metopkin Seafood is a favorite place for us to get a seafood platter.

We decided to eat lunch at Maria’s in Chincoteague, VA– our first time to eat there. Bob ordered a crab cake sandwich with French fries. I ordered a small pizza.

I have leftover pizza for another meal. The food and service were good. We returned to our rental AirBnb, Tranquil Shores, after lunch.

I have more to tell you about our 7th day of vacation, which I will share with you in a future blog post.

Fabulous sunrise photos Linda 🙂 I would be happy sitting on that porch for a few hours. Pretty area and fun to see all the golf carts. Looks like you had wonderful weather while you were there. Very creative love sign and I like they used the symbolism to create it. I will have to remember Metopkin Seafood as I can see us making a trip that way sometime this year. I will look forward to your next blog post about this day. Have a great week 🙂
