The Town Wharf is only steps away where you can launch a boat at the public ramp or rent kayaks, paddle-boards and bikes. The passenger ferry to Tangier Island also departs from there. If you have a boat there is a public parking lot directly across from the house as well as car+trailer parking at the Wharf. Onancock Creek is about 4 miles long and opens up into the Chesapeake Bay which boasts pristine and secluded beaches and great fishing.
If the ocean is your thing, Assateague National Park is the closest beach with surf and lots of parking. Adjacent to the beach is the town of Chincoteague with a water park a brewery and restaurants so together there is more than enough to do for a day trip there.
Additional fun trips include a winery, The Barrier Islands Center, the town of Cape Charles, Savage Neck Dunes and the town of Wachapreague which is home to a popular restaurant with outstanding water views. Also out of Wachapreague you can charter a boat to take you fishing, birding, shell collecting or just exploring on the undeveloped barrier islands.
