Property in Willis' Wharf was being traded,
sold and inherited back in the 1700s
You will find 'Clam Town' on the seaside of the Eastern Shore peninsula
about 60 minutes south of the Maryland line.


The road into town is lined, both sides, with peaceful, neat homes.

Welcome to
Willis' Wharf, Virginia




One thing you need to understand about Willis' Wharf is that
when the tide is out, the tide is out!
 
As always, most images are 'clickable' for more detail

'Clam Town' is know world wide for... you guessed it - growin' clams
The 'clickable' image below is a combination

of two photos. I wanted to show the whole setup.
 
The tide was beginning to come back by the time we left

They fed us well at the E. L. Willis Store (built by Edward L. Willis in 185? to serve as a store). Mr. Willis would be very proud.
Crab cakes -yummy, rock fish - yummy! And they did my fries to order.
