WANDERLove Yorktown

WanderLove is about reconnecting with what you love: the quaint small towns, the calming waterside views, and the winding roads in between. The beauty of Yorktown is in its prime location—situated between the bustling southside cities of Virginia and the capital, just up 64, in Richmond. The scenic Colonial Parkway connects it to Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens so tourists have the option to skip the interstate altogether. It's time to start planning your next road trip!
Visit Yorktown

Though known for the final battle of the American Revolution, Yorktown offers more than just history! Fun awaits the entire family. Soak up the sun on the beach, ride through town on a Segway tour, and dine in restaurants offering spectacular waterfront views. Visit historic homes and battlefields, explore museums, and set sail on the York River. Locally owned specialty shops offer art, books, jewelry, and souvenirs.
Sounds of Summer

Join us all summer long for free outdoor concerts by the river. That’s right! This year, we’ve extended the series from June through August. Bring your lawn chairs and coolers, and stay until the sun sets! You’ll get to jam to some of the area’s top acts playing beach favorites, Motown, disco, funk, R&B, Pop & more.
Riverwalk Landing

This beautiful waterfront development is reflected in the town's historic buildings and specialty shops offering Yorktown inspired home décor, custom jewelry, books, photography, local art, and more. Enjoy private, intimate sails or group tours that take you up and down the York River where you may spot dolphins and other wildlife. Enjoy lunch or dinner in any of the waterfront restaurants known for their seafood and southern hospitality. Enjoy seasonal outdoor concerts, festivals, farmers markets, and art shows.
