About Wachapreague

Known as the “Little City by the Sea,” Wachapreague is a quiet fishing village on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. Daily life here revolves around the water, with winding channels and salt marshes leading straight out to untouched barrier islands and the Atlantic. It has a handful of historic homes, active docks, and a deeply peaceful pace. For anyone looking to trade traffic and noise for great fishing, salty breezes, and a close coastal community, Wachapreague is a wonderful spot to settle down.
