If you plan to travel to Tangier Island, which is located in the Chesapeake Bay 12 miles northwest from mainland, Onancock (Onancock is a one hour north of Virginia Beach, Virginia) you need to make plans to arrive early.  The Tangier-Onancock Cruises leaves Onancock Wharf (see map) daily at 10:00 AM and returns around 3:30 PM.  It is a one-day trip where you step back in time. As you leave Onancock Wharf, you'll enjoy the beauty of the historic homes that line Onancock Creek and upon arriving in the Chesapeake Bay, there is a feeling of a true adventure.
