  This is a good beach for families with small children: it faces the Chesapeake Bay, so the waters are calm: no crashing waves and dangerous undertow. I would say it's a great beach for such families, except for one thing: there are no public restrooms or showers, so it's only great if you are staying in town. The beach is clean, the sand is soft, and the sunsets delightful.

  This is a family area which is really nice. But with no one cleaning the beaches, it was nasty in areas. Alot of dead fish, sea weed and even a dead shark on the private beach that we stayed at. We went to the public beach if we wanted to swim. The Brown Dog ice cream is awesome! They have different flavors everyday.

  We were staying near by and some of us used the beach here for swimming. The water is shallow and calm. We came one evening for family pictures and it provided lots of good locations for large and small group picture taking. There is a fun LOVE sculpture make of local items, beach glass, crab traps, kayaks (just the tips), and a tractor tire. Restrooms are available.

  A small beach, bur relatively nice. Whether or not you enjoy it will depend upon what you are looking for in a beach. If you are looking for a lot of items to rent (bikes for rides, beach umbrellas) , local bars to get a few drinks, or to walk up and down the beach people watching then this is not your place. If you are looking for a beach that has a decent crowd of people enjoying the water, but not so many that you feel crowded then this will be a nice experience. You can go out quite a long ways from the beach and still be no more than knee deep in water. There are (or were on this day) a large number of snails in the surf, but can be easily navigated. Everyone there seemed to be having fun, if you don't want to swim you can fish off the pier (no license required as the town has purchased a fishing license for the vicinity that automatically covers everyone. Just blocks away are a few boutique stores, restaurants, and coffee shops. I don't know if this is the type of beach that I could spend a week at, but could certainly see going and staying for 2-3 days to enjoy all the aspects of being at the beach without all of the crass commercialism.

  Sweet beach on the Chesapeake bay, lots of room, lots of parking. Beach is clean, there are restrooms, and water is shallow for a long way so great for kids.

  Some shops, people and a nice beach area. We went there a few times at different times of the day and the town didn't have much to offer. Lots of rundown properties. You wouldn't be missing much if you drove on past it.

  Cherrystone Campground in Cape Charles, Virginia was a wonderful experience! If you have children, they will NOT be bored! Two family pools, a lazy river, and an adult pool for those who love to swim, miniature golfing, tennis courts, kayaking, paddle boats, evening entertainment, hiking trails, biking, crabbing, clamming, fishing on any of the 4 wharves, and beautiful sunsets on the Chesapeake Bay, Wonderful staff, beautiful grounds immaculately taken care of. Sadly, we came home on a Saturday night and within just a few days they were hit with an awful tornado. From their website, I learned they opened again on August 1st. Enjoy! My family certainly did!
