This laid-back harbourside town offers great access to Chesapeake Bay, so it makes sense that kayaking, sailing and fishing are some of the most popular activities here. But Onancock has much more to offer besides, including a brilliant arts scene with plenty of pint-sized galleries and shops selling local crafts. There’s also a great petite cinema called the Roseland Theatre, which often shows international arthouse films.
