There are alot of miles of beachfront from Asseteague down to the Bridge tunnel. Anyone surf in-between these areas or know of any spots of easy access (i.e. not requiring $$ permit to drive down the beach for miles, but instead can park and have a short walk to a beachbreak)? Just wondering since it seems shameful we pack ourselves in like sardines during the summer months at just a couple of breaks in OC, IR, Henelopen, Tower Rd. etc. but yet there is hundreds of miles of primarily undeveloped beaches just south (or north if your coming up from VA Beach). Just wondering...like most folks, I don't like crowds and would be will to drive a little extra to find a quiet but decent spot.
the irony of this post is that you are asking for suggestions to uncrowded spots on message board accessed by hundreds of people daily... not trying to be a jerk...good luck in your search.
That's dune cougar territory. Remains undeveloped because it's about a 50 / 50 shot at surviving the walk (run) from your car to the lineup.....and then you have the rapid dolphins to worry about.
i sure would like to explore the breaks of the eastern shore of virginia, but every time i drive through there i keep hearing "dueling banjos" playing. it's really disturbing.
are you frickin kidding yeah i will draw you a map then post it on this page so we can turn these places into a kook pit like de and oc in the summertime. the best things in life are best kept to yourself.
Banjos & More! I just drove down there on my way to Williamsburg last weekend. About halfway down the VA peninsula there is a burned out home with a big sign in front of it that says "burnt out by the KKK" Keep driving, nothing to surf here......
Its probably best to steer clear of this region, although its beautiful in its own way. Probably get held captive in a crab de-shelling factory with other freaks with 12 toes from generations of inbreeding... The people there like it the way it is and I bet they're willing to go to crazy lengths to keep it that way. I dont blame them its pristine untouched by crowds and tourists but also at the same time lacks any advances society has made in the last 50 yrs..
" but also at the same time lacks any advances society has made in the last 50 yrs.. " like indoor plumbing
I've only driven from Salisbury down Rt. 13 to the bridge tunnel once in my life, and yeah, it does have the look and smell of Deliverance country. But come on, if die-hard surfers are willing to travel to the 3rd world of Costa Rica and Nicaragua, I hardly think the VA eastern shore is any more dangerous than what road-side banditos in central america would do to you. And even if everyone and their mom knew about a seceret surf break down in that area, I hardly think they would get overcrowded....there's no where to stay nearby and there's no population of any substance so it would only be a few diehards making the trek on occassion.
between delsurf.com,...surfingoc.com,...in years past,..and now swellinfo.com,..<<for what is at least the fourth time this subject has been posted about,..unless you have the time, money and a boat to explore with, you are just wasting your time. Other then that, it is not hard to find a spot to yourself down past the line. You can even park and ride a bike right up to the the beach at this one nice spot that is down from some of the main parking, if you know where I am talking about,..almost like you own private beach/ break on the right swell. Or if you have what it takes you can walk,>>>back the seven miles to the line itself, and explore all you want. Or have your permit and drive the sand. Otherwise, you will need a boat. And that is something that I would love to check out myself. But unless you have already got your spot confirmed as well as tides correct, it will most likely be more a miss then a score. Unless you can make the run out to those spots on most every swell or know the locals who go out to those areas fishing, you most likely do not stand a chance of finding what you are looking for. Very time intensive early on, but once you found your spot and have all the variables correct, you could know your window pretty well enough to make it worth while. Almost like a mini cortes bank situation. I have got to think that at least one spot off the coast there is game on under the right conditions. I have been doing the google earth on it for a number of years now, and it does look like it would be a great set up. But thinking and knowing are worlds apart.
