Food scene

Good food and nice view of the boats and bay. Recommend getting there to put your name on the waiting list about an hour before you want to eat in the summer, it can get very busy. While you wait you can enjoy looking at the boats or strolling across the train tracks to Mason Ave.

Built in an old bank this is a cozy little bar for the winter, with warming meals (That can tend to be salty) and a cool vibe, you can also sit outside in the Summer and enjoy some people watching.

If you’re lucky to be in Cape Charles when there is a play going on or the experimental film festival “films that move” you’ll get a glimpse into a quaint creative scene on the shore. It’s beautiful inside too.
