The streets of Onancock will smell like heaven once the ovens and fryers turn on. A personal favorite of the Bride and Groom, no visit to the Shore is complete without a trip through these doors. Top recommendations: Everything. Doughnut Holes and Maple Bacon Doughnuts. Pro Tip: Get there early or else they will sell out, and once they sell out they close. Only the Bride has gotten them to make another batch of something that was already out of stock.

If you're staying in Cape Charles you're already 5 feet away from the beach! Walk the beach and see if you can find your own collection of sea glass, the Bride has a ton from this beach! You can't get but so lost on the Shore, route 13 cuts up the middle and if you go left or right, eventually you'll hit water and then all you'll need to do is turn around and eventually you'll be brought back to it.
