Between the Waters Bike Tour

The Tour is a sustainable ecotourism event giving riders the opportunity to see the beauty of our rural area. Routes are flat loops winding along back roads, providing scenic rest stops on both the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic seaside with views of marshes and barrier islands.

The Between the Waters Bike Tour is a creation of Citizens for a Better Eastern Shore (CBES), a nonprofit organization working to “support balanced growth while enhancing our quality of life and preserving our natural resources” on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.

Proceeds from the Bike Tour are used to help publish the CBES newsletter, ShoreLine, and for our other community activities.
