Chesapeake spans the Virginia waterways where the Elizabeth and Great Dismal Swamp canal meet, giving this city a working-port character shaped by seafood, shipping, and open marshland. Its dining scene runs deep, with 182 restaurants serving up fresh Chesapeake Bay catches alongside Southern comfort fare. Travelers passing through will find 30 hotels offering easy access to both the wetlands and the coast, making it a practical base for exploring the wider Hampton Roads region.
