Located between the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean, it's a convenient stop for travelers using the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel system to cross between Virginia's mainland and the peninsula.

The Eastern Shore Railway Museum, housed in a restored 1906 Pennsylvania Railroad station, displays the area's transportation heritage.
