Northampton

LocationVirginia

Ready to explore Virginia’s Eastern Shore? Northampton is found in the southern part of the Delmarva Peninsula. Settled between the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean, you can find the state’s National Wildlife Refuge of the Eastern Shore and the Kiptopeke State Park. Come be part of the tradition of living off the land and water by fishing, boating, and joining the locals in admiring the beauty of your surroundings.

With its roots deep in Native American history the county of Northampton enjoys a great 795 square miles of beautiful land and towns including the popular Cape Charles. In Cape Charles you can find golfing, wind sailing, a relaxing harbor, and shops galore. Fun for the entire family with many restaurants and places to stay like Inns and Bed and Breakfasts right by the bay. Soak in the seafood and sun on the shore. Later, take a break to visit the Historic Palace Theatre and Cape Charles Memorial Library. Horse riding tours are offered through Pfeiffer Riding Stables we encourage you to eat as many oysters as you want. With the harbor so close by, Fourth of July celebrations, and Clam Slams who can go wrong with Northampton?
