Heron's Pointe

Step aboard The Chesapeake Queen, our charming replica steamboat, complete with an authentic paddle wheel, for a relaxing 1.5-hour cruise along the scenic waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Departing from the Cape Charles Marina on Virginia’s beautiful Eastern Shore, this leisurely voyage takes you south along the tranquil shoreline, passing Heron Pointe—a favorite nesting spot for graceful coastal birds.

As you glide across the bay, enjoy panoramic views, gentle breezes, and the rhythmic churn of the paddle wheel. Keep your eyes peeled for the Great White Heron, also known as the Egret, often seen wading in the shallows or soaring above the marshes. Our crew will share insights into the area’s natural beauty, maritime heritage, and local wildlife as you soak in the sights and sounds of the Bay.

Whether you’re a birdwatcher, history buff, or simply seeking a peaceful escape on the water, this cruise offers an unforgettable way to experience the timeless charm of the Chesapeake.
