Lucky 13

The main drag along Virginia's Eastern Shore is more than a lonely stretch of asphalt. It's got kitsch, a touch of class, and the best darn fried chicken you'll ever eat.

Talk about growth. Since 2003, real estate prices have quadrupled in some cases in the bayfront burg of Cape Charles. Waking up at a fast and furious pace, the town is one of the most happening real estate hot spots on the Shore, attracting a fresh infusion of merchants and developers anticipating the impending gold rush.

The early results of the town’s makeover can be seen at the Bay Creek Marina and Resort, home to more than fifty pastel-colored waterfront homes as well as a swish clothing boutique, gourmet deli, art gallery, and the shore’s swankest eatery, Aqua, offering imaginative Pacific rim fare. For charming accommodations, check in with Carol and Bruce Evans, innkeepers of the Cape Charles House, a rambling Victorian with five spacious guest rooms.

Aqua, 757-331-8660. Cape Charles House, 757-331-4920 or capecharleshouse.com.
