HAMPTON
by the sea + beyond...
Hampton,
VA--Hampton has endured since those first English travelers
aboard the Susan Constant set sail across the Chesapeake Bay in 1607.
They passed through a stretch of sea so steady and calm they named it
Point Comfort.
Today, the area is a popular destination for locals
and visitors who
visit Buckroe Beach and Fort Monroe. Seagulls float above the new
fishing pier and boardwalk.
Cobblestones line the old city streets and the
nearby jewel of a hotel,
Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina, overlooks the harbor. Miss Hampton
excursions take you back in time along the strawberry banks where
Captain John Smith disembarked to Fort Wool, the onetime battery and
summer home to U.S. presidents. There's so much to do.
