AMERICAN ROVER - Key Persons
Nor-fok or Naw-fok, no matter how you pronounce it, the experience will always be the same: fun, vibrant entertainment and culture, delicious cuisine, and 144 miles of shoreline waiting to be explored! With the Chesapeake Bay, Atlantic Ocean, and countless rivers in our backyard, you are never far from the water; you can experience intense water sports, leisurely sails, or simply enjoy the view from your hotel room. Take a tour of the Elizabeth River harbor on a majestic tall ship, sip on some of the best wines around at Mermaid Winery, Virginia's very first urban winery, or watch world-renowned artists blow glass at the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio. If history is your thing, sign up for a boat or land tour of the world's largest Naval Base, stop by the MacArthur Memorial, or walk the Cannonball Trail.
