Yorktown Riverwalk Landing & Historic Village
Riverwalk Landing, Yorktown
A riverside area in the old town of Yorktown on the York River, with a beach, promenade, restaurants and 18th-century streets; you can take a sailing trip or see the Victory Monument.
Old Yorktown was built along the York River, and its main street retains colonial-era buildings including the Custom House and the Nelson House. The riverwalk is about 1.2 km long, connecting the Yorktown Beach, the docks, and shops and restaurants. In summer you can rent kayaks or take a sail on the two-masted schooner Alexander Hamilton to explore the York River. On the hill, the Victory Monument overlooks the York River Bridge. A free seasonal shuttle runs between the riverfront, the old town and the Yorktown Victory Center, a Revolutionary War museum.
