Within a one-mile radius, you will find specialty shops, museums, and a variety of riverfront restaurants catering to both the pickiest and most polished of palates.
Whether it’s oysters, tuna, or softshell crabs you crave, fresh seafood is always on the menu at Yorktown Pub, Umi Sushi, Riverwalk Restaurant, and Water Street Grille. Choose from brick oven pizzas, gourmet burgers, and more than two dozen local craft beers when you dine at Water Street Grille. Indulge in steak, pasta, and special cocktails at Riverwalk Restaurant. At Carrot Tree Kitchens, enjoy scratch-made cakes and Southern favorites like Brunswick Stew and Ham Biscuits. Satisfy your sweet tooth with decadent frozen treats from Ben & Jerry’s. Or savor scrumptious tacos, burrito bowls, quesadillas, and sandwiches from Coastal Thirst. Sit on the sand or benches as you watch boats and wildlife pass by while enjoying your meal.
In addition to the many restaurants, you’ll find several stores designed in the spirit of Colonial architecture, offering nautical-inspired home decor, custom-made jewelry, historical books, beach supplies, and other unique items and services.
Walk in the footsteps of our nation’s founders and beloved patriots—men like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and the Marquis de Lafayette—when you visit the Battlefield and American Revolution Museum at Yorktown. Both attractions are a short walk or a free trolley ride from the Riverwalk Landing Parking Terrace.
If you’re feeling adventurous, tour the area by bicycle, kayak, or paddleboard with rental options from Patriot Tours & Provisions. The public beach is also perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and watching sunsets. Set sail aboard Yorktown’s home-ported schooner, the Alliance II, or take the kids on a pirate adventure cruise.
Riverwalk Landing is the community hub for free outdoor concerts, Saturday farmers markets, festivals, and special holiday events. Annual highlights include the Blues, Brews & BBQ festival, Fourth of July Celebration, Wine Festival, and Art Stroll. Each Christmas brings the Tree Lighting, Lighted Boat Parade, and Mistletoe Market. Visitors arriving by water can dock at either of the floating piers, which are equipped to welcome cruise ships, visiting tall ships, and smaller leisure vessels.
As you can see, this diverse travel destination offers a little bit of everything! History and hospitality are just a short, scenic drive from Williamsburg.
