Chincoteague Island, Virginia's only resort island, is perhaps the most beautiful island on Virginia's Eastern Shore. World famous for its oyster beds and clam shoals, Chincoteague is the gateway to the Assateague Island National Seashore and the Chincoteague Wildlife Refuge. Adventure awaits everywhere as history and legend blend with the wild loveliness of the seasonal shore.
This serene fishing village, seven miles long and one and one-half miles wide and abounding with history and natural charm, welcomes you to explore its unique island heritage.

100th Anniversary Celebration

Welcome to Chincoteague Island, Virginia's only resort island, world famous for our oysters, clams, fishing, and the Chincoteague ponies. Chincoteague is a quiet family resort at the gateway to the Assateague National Seashore and Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. The Town of Chincoteague will be celebrating our 100th Anniversary during 2008. Many special events will be held throughout the year to help us celebrate this historic event. There is no better time for you to visit Chincoteague than during this 100th Anniversary year. Please visit the Town of Chincoteague website (www.chincoteague-va.gov) or the Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce website for annual and anniversary events. I look forward to meeting each of you during the year.
John H. "Jack" Tarr, Mayor
Chincoteague voted “Best Weekend Getaway to the Beach”
in March-April 2007 issue of Hampton Roads Magazine


“The flip-flop town of Chincoteague is our favorite base camp for exploring the 37 miles of pure, unadulterated Atlantic beach of Assateague Island National Seashore, where wild ponies frolic and there’s nary a high rise in sight. Rent a bike to explore the quaint island town of seafood restaurants, cute boutiques and museums chronicling the seafaring life. Across the short causeway to Assateague Island awaits nature trails, bird watching and wild, unspoiled beach.”
