The "Eastern Shore". Its the southern tip of a peninsula called the Delmarva, because the entire state of Delaware, part of Maryland, and this little part of Virginia are on it. The Atlantic Ocean is on the east side of it and the Chesapeake Bay is to the west. Ships entering Chesapeake Bay from the Ocean sail in south of the Delmarva, below the eastern shore, past Cape Charles at the southern tip. Its just about twenty miles north of the Norfolk area. Today the Eastern Shore is connected to the Norfolk area by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.
