Cape Charles and the small community of Arlington occupy the narrow eastern fringe of this coastal survey, where the land meets the vast expanse of the Chesapeake Bay. The coastline is deeply incised by tidal waterways such as Old Plantation Creek and Elliotts Creek, which separate the mainland from the shifting shoals of the Old Plantation Flats. A notable local landmark is the John Custis Tomb, reflecting the deep colonial roots of the Eastern Shore.
