There’s no doubt that the summer is full of endless possibilities & brimming with fun events here in our small town. But every so often, we like to devise an hour-by-hour guide to a perfect day spent here in historic Yorktown. Are you visiting us anytime soon? Are you up for the challenge of completing this list?

9 AM Breakfast at the Hornsby House is a really unique – and tasty – experience. Not only is there an incredible buffet each morning with rotating casseroles, various breakfast meats, fresh fruit, and on special occasions eggs benedict…. But a meal spent around the dining room table in good conversation with your hosts and other guests is truly unique and memorable.

10 AM If you need a bit more caffeine, never fear! Mobjack Bay Coffee Roasters just moved into the historic Cole Digges House just across the street. Take a tour of the house and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed joe.

11 AM If it’s Saturday, head to the Farmers Market down on River Street to grab some fresh fruit or locally baked goods to snack on throughout the day!

12 PM An hour on the beach does the soul some good; don’t forget sunscreen, a good book, and a towel to sit on.

1PM There are so many great lunch spots in Historic Yorktown that you can’t really go wrong. If you’re looking for a very relaxed atmosphere & don’t want to stray from the beach, try the Yorktown Pub. If you’re seeking something a bit more upscale, we’d suggest Umi Sushi or the Water Street Grille! (if you’re wondering, all of them serve wonderful seafood dishes)

2PM Vacation= dessert after lunch, right? Grab a cone of ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s, just across the street from the beach.

3Pm If it’s Sunday, Hop over to the American Revolution Museum & Spend a little time catching details you missed the first go round, then enjoy the fifes & Drums of yorktown at 3:45.

4PM Browse the shops on river street for holiday gifts, souvenirs, or treats to pamper yourself!

5PM Learn about the history of the area with the innkeepers during wine & cheese hour on the porch of the Hornsby House. Is there anything better?

6PM Dinner at the Riverwalk Restaurant simply cannot be beat. While staying with us, ask us about specials for this establishment!

7PM If it’s Thursday, head down to the Sounds of Summer Concerts and finish off the day with some wonderful live music!
