There's a great slick behind the jetty on a SW wind. The riding area is large, shallow and generally uncrowded. There are several options for downwinders in N, NW and SW winds. Downwinders include waves, flat water, and beautiful natural terrain and scenery. Wide sand beach (huge at low tide). Jetty at south end of the beach. Ample free parking right at the launch spot(s). Plenty of room to launch and land. Excellent gawker potential as well. Best wind in April, May, September, October and November. Best directions SW and NW. When the water temperature is cold (below 55 degrees from November through March) south west winds will usually not make it across the bay. I can be blowing 25 knots southwest in Virginia Beach, and only 5 knots in Cape Charles because the warm southwest breeze can't make it across the cold bay. Wetsuits for spring and fall. Summer is shorts all the way. Season lasts from Late March through December depending on how tough you are. Several dry suit clad riders hit this beach year round. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Shop, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
