The Delmarva Peninsula, a dangling appendage 180 miles long that is suspended between the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays, is attached to the mainland only by a thin sliver of land less than 15 miles wide where the states of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware come together. The only connection of Virginia's Eastern Shore - the fingerlike tip at the bottom of the peninsula - with the rest of the state is a 17.6 mile bridge tunnel across the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay.The Eastern Shore of Virginia Tourism Commission and its Welcome Center is dedicated to promoting tourism on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
