BayDreaming.com's Guide to the Chesapeake Bay

Reedville, Virginia

Reedville Attractions:

 

Reedville on the Northern Neck of Virginia (between the Potomac and Rappahanncok Rivers) is a fisherman's town.  Reedville is home to a thriving menhaden commercial fishing industry.  Several sport fishing  charters are available for the recreational fisherman.  Each year, the town plays host to the Reedville Bluefish Derby.  This fishing tournament, held in mid-June, features cash prizes in excess of $125,000.   


The Reedville Fishermen's Museum is located in the center of the town's historic district. The museum has a nice collection of traditional Chesapeake Bay work boats.  While at the museum, pick up a copy of the Reedville Walking Tour brochure.  The tour describes the turn-of-the-century Victorian homes which line Main Street.  The museum currently has a special exhibit documenting the history and restoration of three Chesapeake Bay skipjacks.  The exhibit, entitled Skipjack Sunday, will be on display through August of 2002.  You can view recently discovered photographs of Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks at the Skipjack Sunday website.  Prints of the photos are also available for purchase through the website.

 



 

Reedville is also home to the Smith Island and Tangier Island Cruise boats.  The Smith Island Cruise departs from the Chesapeake Bay Camp - Resort, the Tangier Island Cruise leave from Buzzard's Point Marina.  The boats operate from the beginning of May through mid October.  They leave Reedville at 10:00am and return at 3:45pm.  These isolated island towns are worth a visit and the cruise across the Chesapeake Bay is enjoyable.
