As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Few things are as restorative as a couple of days away in a different corner of the world. Here in Virginia, we have our own remote island with fascinating charms, an extensive history, and endless natural beauty: Tangier. While it’s not easily accessible, this strip of land is absolutely worth the effort it takes to get there. When you visit, you’ll want to book a night or two at Bay View Inn, a lovely bed & breakfast that will make you feel like you’ve discovered your home-away-from-home.

Welcome to the Bay View Inn. As the name implies, the accommodation is located a stone's throw away from the beautiful shores of the Chesapeake Bay on Tangier Island.

The Bay View Inn was established in 1904 by an island resident named Sidney Wallace.
Arriving to Tangier, visitors will be amazed by the role that the Chesapeake plays in everyday life. From the ever-changing weather to the hard work of fisherman, Tangier is an island that is ever-evolving.
