Wanderlust is defined as a strong desire to travel, but here in Virginia, we call that feeling WanderLove - Because Virginia is for Lovers.
Mathews is Virginia’s second smallest county but it’s the Virginia county with the greatest amount of shoreline. In Mathews you can follow most roads until they meet water. While Mathews is remote, it’s less than 1.5 hours from Richmond, close enough for a day trip or weekend getaway.
WanderLove is about re-connecting to the things you love that can be found in Mathews: quaint small towns, calming views of the Chesapeake Bay, and the backcountry roads in between. With 20 kayak launch points, natural beaches, and beautiful waterfront landings, we’ve compiled a few suggestions below for you to find your perfect window on the Bay.
