Golf
Few places offer the variety of things to see and do that you’ll find in the dynamic Hampton Roads metro area. And Chesapeake, Virginia sits in the center of it all, making it the perfect launch-point for your next getaway. Easy access off I-64 puts us 20 minutes from the oceanfront, 15 minutes from Norfolk, and 40 minutes from Colonial Williamsburg. Of course, Chesapeake has plenty of attractions, golf, history, waterways, and parks to fill your days too. And, we think you’ll find our vacation packages surprisingly affordable.

Virginia Birding & Wildlife Trail
The sites in the South Chesapeake Loop offer a sample of habitats at the
interface of pinewoods and the swampy bottom lands lining several rivers
that drain the southeastern corner of the state. Visitors may encounter
birds ranging from nuthatches flitting through the pines, to
prothonotary warblers nesting in hollow swamp trees, to stealthy great
blue herons hunting in the shallows. The City of Chesapeake is a
starting point for this loop, which circles southward toward the North
Carolina border and returns just south of the city.
