Cape Henry Overview
Chick's Beach is a popular sailing site for sailors of every skill level depending on how strong the wind and from which direction the wind is blowing... especially close to shore. All directions blow strong except south and southwest (the only directions that do NOT face the open Chesapeake to the north and west, and the open Atlantic to the east).
