"Low lying island" Tangier Island Favorite Tip by grandmaR

Favorite thing: Tangier is really a cluster of marshy islands in the Chesapeake Bay about fifteen miles from the Eastern Shore. Tangier has been eroding away for years. The island now is only about a mile wide by three miles long. The land is flat and marshy with the highest point on the island at about seven feet above sea level. Island residents are clustered in three communities known as "ridges". The waterline of Tangier is very low lying and marshy and the edges of it are exposed at high tide.

Fondest memory: The lack of high buildings, mountains and trees does make it easier to see sunsets.
