Welcome to Tidewater Country,  located in  southeastern Virginia. Bounded on the north by the James River and the Chesapeake Bay and the east by the Atlantic Ocean; we extend south into northeastern North Carolina and westward through Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Suffolk, Virginia.

    If you've been thinking of living in a place that might offer a better life for you and your family, a place with a little slower pace and a lot more space, welcome to southeastern Virginia and Tidewater Country. We offer more than just a place to live: it's a way of life.

    Florence Turner, in Gateway To The New World, tells of people that first came to this area south of Jamestown looking for more land near rivers and creeks for transportation, trees for building, and a place to settle that would offer a better life for themselves and their families.

    This site is dedicated to sharing with you some of the reason we love Tidewater Country.  Things to do, places to go, good places to eat, all are part of Tidewater Country.

     Recreational opportunities throughout Tidewater Country are many and varied. The Atlantic Ocean, Chesapeake Bay, James River and other area lakes and rivers offer endless opportunities for fishing, swimming, sailing and canoeing. 

    If you enjoy hiking or biking, you'll enjoy the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge or any one of our many city and state parks. Northwest River Park in Chesapeake offers miles of trails for horseback riding. Equestrian activities are an important part of Tidewater Country Living. Whether English or Western, you will find numerous shows, rodeos and riding trails throughout the area.

    For the golfer, there are eighteen golf courses ranging from well maintained municipal courses to a top Arnold Palmer course at West Neck.
