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.
Take the fascinating walking tour of the seat of Accomack County. The homes and tiny churches are wonderful architecture.
There are certainly some beautiful homes in town. Accomac Virginia is away from the water so it has relatively few bug problems.
You will find Parksley somewhat north of the midway point of the picturesque peninsula that is the Eastern Shore of Virginia. It is located just off Route 13 approximately twenty minutes south of the Maryland line and about an hour north of our end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel complex.
Parksley is a mostly undiscovered gem in the middle of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Only about 8 miles north of Onancock, this town doesn't get the same publicity as its older, waterfront sister.
The town features numerous small hotels, bed and breakfasts, and campgrounds that serve visitors to the region, such as those patronizing the beaches. The island also features many restaurants, ice cream parlors, and miniature golf courses. The island contains three museums: Beebe Ranch, the Museum of Chincoteague Island and the Refuge Waterfowl Museum. Nothing short to do in Chincoteague.
Captain's Cove is a great place to live in Virginia!
