We took a weekend trip out to Tangier Island, Virginia. A very interesting adventure indeed. Tangier is not your normal tourist destination. The locals are not happy to see you, but they will deal with you, for the most part. Make sure to leave your east coast, metropolitan, rat race pace, expectations, and attitude at home. It doesn't play at Tangier Island. The island is mostly marshland. There is wildlife to be enjoyed and many biting insects to be killed. The Tangier Beach is stunning. My photos hardly do it justice. Best food in town: Fisherman's Corner Restaurant.
