The Waters Edge Restaurant located in the center of Salt Ponds Marina is a local favorite boasting an excellent menu along with a comfortable Cabana Bar, 757- 864-0336.
Enjoy abundant flounder, bluefish, drum, rockfish, cobia or speckled trout in the bay or take a short trip into the Atlantic Ocean just minutes away to land a trophy size tuna, marlin or dolphin. Catches are brought into the marina daily for weighing and cleaning. Salt Ponds is only 53 miles form the Norfolk Canyon and 3.5 hours from the Gulf Stream. Onshore fishing is also very popular with local residents. Baitfish moving with the tide in our abundant wetlands provide an excellent source for food for larger fish all year long. Fishing from these inlets provide great results.
Crabbing is also a local favorite pastime. Hampton boasts some of the largest and best tasting Blue Channel crabs on the east coast.
The lower end of the Chesapeake Bay is also one of the greatest areas for Striped Bass or Rockfish. The annual Rockfish tournament held here is considered one of fishing's finest events.
