Welcome to Onancock VA

The town of Onancock nestles between two forks of a creek on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, the Eastern Shore is a land of tiny towns, winding waterways, farms and forests. Begin your exploration of the area with a visit to Onancock.

Founded in 1680, Onancock is now home to 1,500 lucky residents. Visitors can peek into art galleries and fun shops. Several restaurants serve tasty meals. There are half a dozen upscale places to stay, from restored Victorian Bed & Breakfast inns with porch swings to a boutique hotel. And enjoy the other things to do around town.

Come to Onancock for a weekend escape or use our town as your base for a week-long Eastern Shore adventure. Information for those arriving by boat.
