About Chesapeake Beach
Chesapeake Beach offers calm, shallow waters ideal for families and beginners, backed by a charming historic boardwalk lined with vintage amusement park remnants and local shops. The protected bay setting means gentler waves than ocean beaches, making it excellent for kayaking and paddleboarding alongside traditional swimming. The relaxed, nostalgic atmosphere attracts visitors seeking a quieter alternative to the busier Virginia Beach oceanfront, with the added appeal of nearby seafood restaurants and sunset views over the Chesapeake Bay.
Visitor Reviews
Chesapeake Beach is basically the southern part of Chickβs Beach quieter, laid-back, and very much a local favorite. Itβs not crowded like the boardwalk and has a relaxed neighborhood feel that makes it easy to enjoy. There arenβt really waves to surf, but itβs a great place to lay out, get some sun, and relax by the water. If youβre looking for a calm beach day without the chaos, this is a solid spot.
Lovely little stretch of beach. Mostly locals here and people walking their dogs. There was some beach debris, but it didn't detract from the experience. Good spot to see the sunset.
Iβm not sure if the GPS took me to the right spot or not but the was not really lookin light a park, just an entrance to get into the beach. Parking is very limited. But once you park and walk to the beach itβs pretty secluded. At least In the late afternoon on a cold sunny Sunday. Just people walking the beach with their dogs mostly. But it was nice to sit by the water and just hang out. The beach was fairly clean and had trash cans. No port a pottyβs down this way.
I have walked this beach many times now and I will say I enjoy it. I have walked the beach which is not long. It is a pretty clean beach. Parking is not to bad in the off season. Also when you are done with the beach you could grab a bite to eat afterwards because many restaurants are located so close by.
Simply beautiful! More of a βlocals beachβ. Always lots of families. Swimming without the undercurrent yet you still get the ocean feel
