About Wachapreague

Known affectionately as the "Little City by the Sea," this quiet fishing village provides access to the Wachapreague Channel, Cedar Island, Parramore Island, and a sprawling network of seaside creeks. The local lifestyle centers around inshore and offshore flounder fishing departures, launching kayaks into the protected barrier island channels, and dropping pots for blue crabs. Flounder fishing in these seaside creeks is highly tide-dependent; anglers specifically target the changing tides, when moving water aggressively flushes bait across the shallow channels and triggers flounder to feed.
