Bloxom is located in Accomack County on Virginia's Eastern Shore peninsula. The town is defined by its agricultural history and proximity to the pristine coastal areas of the Atlantic. Visitors appreciate the authentic atmosphere, far from the major tourist crowds. The surrounding landscape gives vast fields and dense forests that invite exploration. A special highlight is the nearby beaches, Gargathy Beach and Guard Shore. While Gargathy Beach is more remote and wild, Guard Shore has a wonderful view of the Pocomoke Sound. These stretches of coastline are convenient for kayaking, fishing, or extensive nature walks. The region is known for its abundance of seafood, particularly oysters and crabs. Culinary-wise, the area provides simple but honest cuisine with fresh-caught ingredients directly from the surrounding waters. Bloxom is easily accessible via Highway 13 and serves as an excellent starting point for excursions to nearby Chincoteague Island. Here you experience the real, unadulterated Virginia in a slowed-down environment.
