Cutest little local coffee shop! One block up from Yorktown waterfront. Hours are 9-4 during the week, 9-5 Friday and Saturday. There will be a line if you show up at 9, just FYI. Can’t be in a hurry here... nothing is fast, but coffee and pastries are good! Everything freshly made by them. Very basic coffee menu (see pics), but some of the best coffee around! If you want fast, head to Starbucks down the way. 😄 There are a few parking spaces against the white fence and across the street... most people stop by on a walk or from the beach. At the moment, they are just serving through an outside window and there are picnic tables outside.

Yorktown Beach is a must visit! It’s only minutes from the house and the atmosphere is amazing. There’s a small beach where you can lay out on the sand and soak up the sun, take a stroll along the water, or enjoy some local tasty food. Often has live music and activities all through the year, as well as a great Farmers Market with local vendors on Saturday mornings! Check their calendar for current events.

Tip: beach gets really busy from 10-8. If you don’t like the crowds, but want to enjoy the sand and water, go early or late! Parking in the parking garage is free.

If you love quiet drives or scenic bike rides, you have to check out Colonial Parkway. It absolutely gets you where you want to go, but it’s a beautiful, breathtaking drive.

Cool off in the midst of this Virginia, humid heat! A tip... go straight to the wave pool and claim some of the beach chairs in the shade as soon as you arrive. They are free and can be used as “base camp” while you all head in different directions. You’ll want to do this first thing, because they go quickly!... and you’ll inevitably want a spot in the shade at some point in the day!
