Mathews

LocationVirginia

Mathews is located in the Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia, on the eastern tip of the Middle Peninsula. A Historic Maritime Community, visitors can expect to encounter significant buildings, homes, and churches still in use today.

Mathews CityHistory buffs can find an abundance of colonial and Civil War sites to explore in Mathews. The Mathews Court House Square is a collection of 18-century and 19th-century buildings along with an active historical society. Its close proximitey to Virginia's Historic Triange -- Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown -- offers additional incentive to visit this coastal community.

Visitors can take advantage of numerous self-guided trails as well as enjoy guided treks on the county's birding, bicycling and driving tours. 

Don't miss the serenity of the Bay. Visits Bethel Beach Natural Area Preserve and New Point Comfort Nature Preserve to appreciate the unspoiled ecosystem. Launch out to also get a closer view of New Point Comfort Lighthouse - the third oldest still-standing lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay.
