Kiptopeke State Park Beach

Kiptopeke Beach is a serene, uncrowded stretch of sandy shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay, just south of Cape Charles. Known for its calm, shallow waters and soft sand, it’s a favorite spot for families, beachgoers, and anyone looking to unwind without the crowds.

The beach offers a peaceful setting to swim, relax, or watch the sunset, with views of the iconic concrete ghost fleet ships just offshore. With plenty of space to spread out, it’s a perfect alternative to more commercial beaches—ideal for quiet picnics, reading under an umbrella, or strolling the shoreline.

A separate dog-friendly section makes it welcoming for leashed pets, and while it’s part of Kiptopeke State Park, the beach area has its own charm and relaxed pace that captures the heart of Shore Time.see gem for nature lovers, families, and anyone seeking a relaxed day on the bay.
