The Eastern Shore is not a terribly developed place. The people are of proud heritage and have kept the small town feel of their towns, which are mostly find on the western side (Chesapeake Bay). The seafood is found in local places with little atmosphere but glorious food. There are few, if any, resort-y, beach-and-pool type places to stay, but many bed and breakfast places. One main highway goes right up the middle of the peninsula with much smaller (some gravel) roads off toward the shores.
Do your quilting searches in VA Beach before you cross the Bay Bridge.
