The Chesapeake Bay is the world's largest estuary. Because of the Bay the Eastern Shore peninsula enjoys a moderate yet four season climate. With numerous varieties of wildlife on both sides of the Eastern Shore, the Shore provides endless opportunities for sportsmen and environmentalists alike. Easy day trips to Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown and Fredericksburg are made possible by the proximity to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel which connects the shore to the mainland. Finally, because of its remote geographical location the Eastern Shore has remained a step or two back in time, and as such has created a community of people whose independence and self-reliance is still strongly characteristic of the Shore today.
