About Gwynn's Island
Gwynn’s island is a sleepy former fishing and oyster village now mostly converted to summer homes. Check out out our guide for nearby things to do, eat, and see! Our private neighborhood is a friendly community where neighbors meet for drinks on the community dock each night to watch the sun set. Community offers a private boat launch, access to private sandy beach (on the bay side) and community pier! Private roads maintained by the community offer safe places to walk or bike.
On the island check out a wine and oyster pairing with views of Milford Haven at Oyster Seed Holdings, 425 Callis Wharf Rd or boat right up at The Hole in The Wall for a cocktail or a meal. In adorable downtown Mathews check out Richardson’s Cafe for great shakes. Southwinds, White Dog Bistro, Backwoods BBQ, and Salty Dog Pizzeria are just a few favorites to visit while antiquing or hitting the weekend Farmers Market.
Bring friends to explore the Chesapeake Wine Trail. One of our favorites located at The Hope and Glory Inn is The Dog and Oyster Vineyard. Mathews, Kilmarnock, White Stone, Urbanna, Deltaville and all of the little River towns surrounding have adorable shopping and fine dining, makes it easy for a day of shopping, sipping and exploring. Deltaville has a semi-pro baseball team with summer fireworks, a small town summer tradition! Be sure to check out The Tides Inn for their famous “Lancaster Lemonade” cocktail as well as their events calendar, or enjoy an elegant evening on their lawn.
So much to do and see….or do nothing at all but relax and “Sip into Sunset".
