VISIT

West Point & King William County 

Escape the everyday.

We're a little bit coastal, a little bit country, and a whole lot of charm.

Just a short drive east of Virginia’s capital, you’ll find the historic river town of West Point and the picturesque countryside of King William County. Surrounded by the Pamunkey, Mattaponi, and York rivers, this is a place shaped by the water, rich in history, and made for slowing down.

In West Point, small-town charm meets life on the river. Explore the shops and restaurants of our quaint downtown district, stroll beneath the trees along Main Street to Beach Park, or settle in for a relaxing stay at one of our Victorian vacation rentals. With deep roots as a Native American village, port, and resort town, West Point offers a distinctly coastal escape just minutes from the heart of Virginia.

Then, follow the road into the countryside and discover a different kind of escape among the rural roads and rolling farmland of King William County. Along the way, you’ll find award-winning boutiques and restaurants, artisan farms, Native American museums, a winery, riverfront lodging, and plenty of ways to get outside and enjoy the landscape.

From riverfront charm to country roads, there’s much to discover in West Point and King William County. We invite you to visit, stay awhile, and escape the everyday.
