And when it's time to eat, you should wind your way to the water's edge and dine at Wright's Seafood Restaurant and Crab Galley.
Established in 1971, Wright's is one of the premier seafood eating places on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. It was built on the site of an old button factory and part of the original structure, although not noticable, forms part of the restaurant. It began with a seating capacity of six and now has three large dining rooms and a crab galley. Wright's overlooks Watts Bay and Wallops Island can be seen on a clear day. Pictured below are buttons, shells and blanks from the original factory, also some pictures as seen from their waterfront view.
