Onancock Virginia is the Hidden Gem of the Eastern Shore

Coined the “gem of the Eastern Shore” by Captain John Smith back in the 1600’s, Onancock has a rich history rooted in the calm, winding and deep waters that surround it. Once a bustling port town, today's travelers will find an incredibly friendly, charming town offering a quaint way of coastal life that’s just waiting to be rediscovered. I’ve come to learn that some of the most interesting and memorable travel experiences come from small towns. The types of towns that if you didn’t seek them out or wind up there because you took a wrong turn - you’d have never known they were there. Virginia’s Eastern shore is filled with these special little places. As if plucked right out of a Nicholas Sparks novel, Onancock on Virginia’s Eastern shore is one of these places.
