Why Live in Onley

Onley, Virginia, situated on the Eastern Shore’s central spine, is a small community with a rich history as a former train town. Today, it serves as the commercial hub of the region, with U.S. Route 13 providing access to a variety of big-box retailers like Walmart and Marshalls, alongside local mom-and-pop stores. Despite occasional traffic congestion from tourists heading to nearby beaches, Onley maintains a quiet lifestyle with acres of farmland and proximity to several beaches and boating spots. The Eastern Shore Rail Trail, currently under construction, promises future hiking and biking opportunities along the former Bay Coast Railroad tracks. Homes in Onley range from Colonial Revivals and bungalows to mid-20th-century ranch styles, some backing onto farmland or Burtons Bay. Flood insurance may be necessary for properties near the bay due to severe storms and rising tides. The area is served by Accomack County Public Schools, which offer Advanced Placement classes. For things to do, locals enjoy fishing and kayaking at Burtons Shore Beach, visiting George N. McMath Park, and participating in activities at the Eastern Shore Family YMCA. Onley also features Historic Onley Station, a museum preserving its railroad past, and dining options like Sage Diner, known for its comfort food.
