Cape Charles Town Harbor
Cape Charles Town Harbor is the main marine hub for Northampton County, tucking you into a well-protected basin with 95 slips and four T-heads ranging from 60 to 120 feet, plus 1,200 feet of side-to docking — plenty of room for everything from small recreational craft to serious commercial vessels. It's a full-service setup with fuel, storage, and repairs on hand. The harbor sits right in the heart of historic Cape Charles, a charming small town with walkable streets, locally-owned restaurants, and easy access to the Eastern Shore's quieter side of the Chesapeake.
