Onancock, VA Real Estate

Pretty town at the head of Onancock Creek. The wharf has slips for boats and the downtown has shops, galleries and a plethora of restaurants. Quality bed and breakfasts and a boutique hotel too.

The town's harbor was once a regular stop for steamboats that carried passengers and goods to and from the large ports of Baltimore Maryland and Norfolk Virginia.

The creek wanders past many old and beautiful waterfront homes for about 4 miles to the Chesapeake Bay.  The town has a small downtown area with a nice variety of shops, galleries, and restaurants.  One of the nicest attractions of this town is the abundance of large Victorian era homes on tree lined streets. Onancock's a walkable town and although there's very little traffic, it's best to park your car around the center of town and explore on foot.
