The Tides Inn

About The Tides Inn

The Tides Inn is an iconic waterfront retreat nestled on a picturesque peninsula along the Chesapeake Bay. American made and family built in 1947, the Tides Inn has a way of evoking memories of a simpler time. Set perfectly between a creek and the sea in the quaint town of Irvington, Virginia, the Tides Inn warmly welcomes families and romance-seekers alike. Dine with us al fresco beneath the trees and sparkling starlit sky, or pull up a chair at any of our ocean-inspired restaurants while you soak in tranquil water views. Spend the day learning to sail on Carter's Creek or shuck oysters like a local at our renowned Oyster Academy. Take time to pause as you enjoy our boutique spa or simply grab a cold glass of our famous Lancaster Lemonade as you watch the sun quietly set over the Marina. Experience our unique twist on Southern hospitality while you create your own traditions rooted in rich heritage for years to come.
