behind pristine barrier beach islands on the seaside of Virginia's Eastern
Shore lies the little town of Wachapreague. The region, recognized as
a Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations, is truly one of the last
large wetland habitats in the world. Attractions other than just
the mere beauty of Wachapreague include a vigorous fleet of offshore
fishing yachts, terrific inshore flounder fishing, bird watching, unfettered
barrier island beaches, hunting, and in short an abundance of nature.
