Eastville blends centuries-old history with easygoing coastal living on the lower Eastern Shore. As the seat of Northampton County, its Court Green preserves some of the nation’s oldest continuous court records, while tree-shaded streets and locally owned spots make everyday errands feel personal. Weekend adventures are close at hand: the Chesapeake Bay shoreline and the boutiques and restaurants of Cape Charles are a short drive, and the region connects effortlessly to Hampton Roads via the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.
Outdoors enthusiasts appreciate the birding, beaches, and fishing piers at Kiptopeke State Park, as well as the migratory flyway and lighthouse views at the Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge. Local heritage comes alive at the Barrier Islands Center, a beloved museum and community hub set in a historic schoolhouse. For everyday conveniences and additional dining, nearby Exmore offers small-town services without the crowds.
Families find solid educational footing with Northampton County Public Schools, including the combined middle/high school campus right in town. Lifelong learning is part of the culture, supported by the Eastern Shore Public Library system and workforce programs at Eastern Shore Community College.
