Tangier Island Active and Adventure Travel Tips

By Alistair Wearmouth
  • Paddle the marshes, estuaries, and sounds around Tangier and Smith Islands, including deserted sandbars where you can camp at night. Outfitters such as REI Adventures offer guided trips, or you can go it alone if you’re an experienced paddler who can read a tide table and feel comfortable in strong tidal currents.
  • Slow down for the weekend at Hilda Crockett's Chesapeake House, Tangier Island’s oldest bed & breakfast By day, watch oystermen and crab fishermen at work; by night, settle down to a mouthwatering feast of home-cooked food, served family-style, with your fellow guests.
  • With no vehicle bigger than a gold cart allowed on the island, savor the opportunity to explore at a slower pace on foot or by bike. Find a quiet beach, watch the sunset, take it easy.
