Captain's Cove Area Guide
Relax and Restore on the Virginia Coast
Located on the west shore of Chincoteague Bay, Captain's Cove is a charming and quaint coastal community that is full of amenities, adventure, and relaxation. Captain's Cove borders Maryland to the north and lies on Virginia's eastern shore with water all around that's perfect for fishing, kayaking, and many other activities. If you're in the mood to explore the coast, Captain's Cove is only a 20-minute drive to Chincoteague and Assateague Island where you can find the nearest beach. Ocean City, Maryland is only a 30 minute drive where you can find another beach and a lot of exciting boardwalk activities before you nestle back into the cozy Captain's Cove community.
