The Bay Creek Nature Preserve, spanning over 350 acres, offers miles of walking and biking trails that wind through maritime forest and marshlands—ideal for birdwatchers, photographers, and nature lovers alike.

For golf enthusiasts, Bay Creek is a dream come true. The two signature courses—one by Arnold Palmer and the other by Jack Nicklaus—are among the most celebrated in the region. With dramatic bay views and top-tier course conditions, these courses draw players from around the country. Golf memberships also include access to the Bay Creek Golf Club’s events, practice areas, and more.

While Bay Creek offers privacy and resort amenities, it’s also just minutes from the heart of Cape Charles.
