Northampton County, Virginia

Northampton County Location Map Virginia

You won’t find Northampton County on any “top tourist destinations” list. That’s exactly why it’s worth a visit. This narrow strip of land is part of Virginia’s Eastern Shore, jutting out into the Chesapeake Bay.

Quiet. That’s the word that comes to mind. The beaches here aren’t crowded like Virginia Beach. You might have the whole stretch to yourself. Fishing’s big business. So is farming.

The soil here’s rich so they grow some mean sweet potatoes. History? Oh yeah, there’s plenty. Check out the old courthouse complex. The locals are proud of their roots. They’ll talk your ear off if you let them. It’s the kind of place that grows on you, slow and steady.
