Chincoteague
Island is a small island located
off the coast of the Eastern
Shore of Virginia. Access
to Chincoteague Island is
by way of Route 13, which
runs through the Eastern Shore
of Virginia, Maryland and
Delaware.
See
a map of the island.
Four
miles south of the VA/MD state
line, you turn east on Route
175. Follow Route 175 approximately
6 miles to the Whealton Memorial
Causeway. This is a 4 mile
long causeway over the waterways
and wetlands that separate
Chincoteague Island from the
'mainland'.
Chincoteague
Island is joined to her 'sister'
island, Assateague, by a bridge.
Chincoteague Island is small
in size (less than 2 miles
wide by 8 miles long) but
big in hospitality! In addition
to the friendly 'natives',
commonly referred to as "Teaguers",
Chincoteague abounds in quaint
shops and the freshest seafood
possible (including its world
famous Chincoteague Oysters).
Local
artists and crafters are numerous
and their products can be
found everywhere on the island.
Museums are numerous and educational.
Assateauge (a short car or
bike ride away) offers miles
of unspoiled beaches and abundandt
wildlife (not to mention the
world famous Chincoteague
Ponies).
Come explore our island and
discover what life and living
are all about!
