The
weather is lovely, with four seasons but mild summers and winters. Many people here choose to maintain a quiet lifestyle, enjoying the locality's many natural benefits. Our towns are small, but the cultural advantages of
Richmond, Norfolk, and Washington are only an hour or two away – available when you wish to use them.
The tranquility seems to attract artists, gardeners, and those interested in community involvement. For more active lifestyles, recreational possibilities abound - golf, tennis, and, of course, boating. The magnificent Chesapeake Bay and its many
tributary rivers—Potomac, Wicomico, Piankatank, North, East, Ware, Severn and York—offer
sailors, cruisers, fishermen, and kayakers enjoyment for many months each year. There are innumerable creeks, coves, and inlets to explore. Several regattas throughout the year attract competitive sailors from far and near.
Many people moving here are retiring from professional life in other places. The naturally friendly Virginians welcome newcomers graciously. Once here, families tend to remain for generations.
The area abounds with history.
Whatever your interest, the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula have many things which will fascinate you. It is a hop, skip, and a jump to Williamsburg and Jamestown, to Yorktown, to Richmond, and still only a day trip to Monticello or Mount Vernon.
