Bay Shore Beach

Bay Shore Beach is a historically significant anchorage off Hampton, Virginia, sitting right next to the former Buckroe Beach area where a legendary African American resort beach operated from 1898 through much of the 20th century. Drop the hook here and you're floating off a stretch of shoreline with real story behind it, once known for its crystal-clear, see-to-the-bottom water. It's a straightforward open anchorage, so come prepared with solid ground tackle and an eye on the weather.
