Small historic seaside town on the York River offering waterfront boardwalks, piers, colonial-era architecture and river reflections. Photograph boats, tidal mudflats, pier leading lines and sunsets over the water. No entry fee; seasonal parking along Water St and public lots. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm light and calm water; summer afternoons are crowded. Boardwalk is largely accessible; combine with nearby Yorktown Battlefield for historical context.
