The Seaside Water Trail, which stretches for 70 miles from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay northward to Chincoteague Bay and the Maryland state line, has many historic treasures located alongside it. From the earliest times, Native Americans dined on seafood feasts that are documented in the large number of shell middens. Early European settlers used the seaside creeks and bays as colonial superhighways. The earliest homes on the Shore are located near waterways and many of the public landings located along the Seaside Water Trail are near historic areas.Kayaking is a wonderful way to experience the Seaside's heritage and historic treasures. Enjoy your trip! |

The Trail was developed by the Accomack -
Northampton Planning District Commission in cooperation with Accomack County,
Northampton County, the Town of Chincoteague, the Town of Wachapreague, and
the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program. It is a project of Virginia's Seaside Heritage Program,
a multi-year effort to restore living resources and promote sustainable ecotourism
on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. |
