Visiting the Middle Peninsula of Virginia? Moving here or live here already? Here are my recommendations for the top things to do! I've lived in this region for the last 18 years, so I've been around a while to find the gems for you!
Surrounded by rivers, the Middle Peninsula is great place for water activities like kayaking, boating, or fishing.
We also have some great restaurants and boutique shopping experiences. Don't let the rural atmosphere turn you away, we have plenty to see and do!
