8 days in Williamsburg & Ocean City Itinerary

Founded in 1632 as a fortified settlement on the high ground between two rivers, Williamsburg served as a colonial capital of Virginia for over 80 years.

Step out of Williamsburg with an excursion to The Noland Trail in Newport News--about 36 minutes away. Plan for a day of cool, family-friendly fun on the 27th (Tue) at Water Country USA. There's still lots to do: browse the exhibits of Historic Jamestowne, don't miss a visit to St. George Tucker House, steep yourself in history at Yorktown Battlefield, and let little ones run wild at Veterans Park.

Wilkes-Barre to Williamsburg is an approximately 6-hour car ride. Prepare for a bit warmer weather when traveling from Wilkes-Barre in June: high temperatures in Williamsburg hover around 87°F and lows are around 68°F. Cap off your sightseeing on the 27th (Tue) early enough to go by car to Ocean City.

One of the country's favorite vacation resorts, Ocean City draws nearly 8 million visitors annually with its oceanfront boardwalk, clean beaches, and amusement parks.

Change things up with these side-trips from Ocean City: Funland (in Rehoboth Beach), Cape Henlopen State Park (in Lewes) and Chincoteague Island (Museum of Chincoteague, Dolphin & Whale Watching, &more). There's still lots to do: kick back and relax at Ocean City Beach, walk around Northside Park, take in the waterfront at Ocean City Boardwalk, and find something for the whole family at Jolly Roger Amusement Park.
