Mathews County Virginia Tourism

Lose yourself on our back roads and you always end up at the water’s edge. Imagine a morning stroll along a solitary beach accompanied only by a skirting band of Sandpipers, or an evening kayak amid golden colored marshes.

Mathews is Virginia’s second smallest county, with over two hundred miles of Chesapeake Bay shoreline and over twenty public water access points. Rich in centuries of maritime tradition, quiet country roads lead past stately historic homes to the river’s edge and a life of boating, fishing, sailing and relaxation. This is Mathews County. Water adventures are the norm and art is abundant and spending the night is simply a great experience.

Visit us for a weekend and you’ll be tempted to stay for a lifetime. A short drive from Washington DC or Richmond, yet a world away!
