There are some aspects of life in Virginia that you just can’t find anywhere else. One such example, we’d argue, is the selection of quality seafood. Where else but the Eastern Shore could you expect to find authentic oyster stew sourced from the Chesapeake Bay? Today, we’ll journey to Chincoteague Island and tell you all about the beloved Don’s Seafood Restaurant. (Not a fan of oyster stew? Not to worry! Don’s offers all sorts of other seafood entrees and specials you’ll love.)

Don's Seafood Restaurant has attracted both locals and visitors since it opened its doors on Chincoteague Island in 1973. Visit today and you'll immediately be welcomed to this seafood-loving community.

Part of what makes Don's such an iconic Virginia destination is its location right on the water of the Chincoteague Channel. Some would argue there's no better place to see a sunset!

This family-friendly establishment has earned a reputation as one of the best seafood restaurants in the region. The oysters and clams are sourced from the nearby Tom's Cove Aquafarms.
