Paddle Virginia's Seaside Water Trail

Trip Overview

The 75-mile Atlantic coast of Virginia’s Eastern Shore is the longest undeveloped shoreline wilderness left on the entire East Coast. By sea kayak you’ll explore pristine marshes, winding tidal creeks, and protected barrier islands. The bird-watching is unparalleled on the East Coast, as we are on the Atlantic Flyway. Destinations include Chincoteague/Assateague to see the wild ponies and lighthouse, Metompkin, Cedar, Mockhorn, Smith Island (lighthouse), and Fisherman. Spend a day to week and stay in a B&B or vacation home near Onancock, VA, where the shop is located. The Burnhams are certified Virginia Eco-Tour Guides and licensed by the Nature Conservancy to visit their protected barrier islands.
