Holidays To Chesapeake

Looking to spend your annual leave somewhere with great scenery, a bustling city nightlife, country byways and loads of outdoor activities?

How about museums and historical sites? We'll even throw in the Atlantic Ocean, to boot—you just have to head to Chesapeake, Virginia. Between the surprises at Colonial Williamsburg to the shopping at Antique Alley, Chesapeake is the greatest getaway you've never heard of—until now!

Things to Do in Chesapeake

Your Chesapeake holiday kicks off on the Atlantic coast, about 320 kilometres south of Washington, D.C. It's as far south in Virginia as you can go before you hit North Carolina, and it’s one of the oldest areas of the original colonies in the United States. Get a real taste of early American life by checking out historic sites like nearby Chippokes Plantation or that granddaddy of all living history museums, Colonial Williamsburg.

Chesapeake also has heaps of places for nature buffs to take a hike or do some birdwatching. Despite its name, Dismal Swamp is great! Feel like a trip to the seashore? Of course you do. Book one of Wotif’s Chesapeake car hire options and cruise on over to the Atlantic to Virginia Beach quicker than you can say "Pass the sunscreen."

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

If you’re into history, you’re in luck. Chesapeake is packed with antique shops—they even have antique malls, with rows upon rows of stalls selling everything from pieces of shipwrecks and sea glass to retro clothes and street signs. "Antique Alley" at Military Highway and Canal Street is a great place to get started. There are also modern shopping centres galore in the city. Don’t worry about your wallet our Chesapeake deals will save you enough cash to shop until you drop at the Chesapeake Square Mall.

Many of the restaurants here are also located in gigantic malls and shopping centres, so stow your bags at your hotel and start eating. When you're this close to the Atlantic, seafood is the way to go, and you can't go wrong by choosing one of several eateries named in honour of the area's history of swashbucklers and pirates. Chesapeake holidays practically require you to try the traditional crab cakes—no claw cracking required!

Hey, sailor! When you're done filling up on dinner, the nightlife in Chesapeake and nearby Norfolk is hopping, in no small part thanks to the naval base there. The most happening spots are near the harbour in Norfolk. From sipping a beer on a waterside deck, to jamming to ’80s nights, to trying country line dancing at a club, you're bound to find a place that speaks (or sings!) to you.
