Friends, we have had to delay our Season opening for this year due to the condition of the harbor at Tangier Island. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Norfolk District promised to have the harbor dredged by May 1st so we felt safe announcing our open date as May 23rd. However, they still have not started the work and are not sure when they can get to it.
Dredging the harbor is necessary every year so that boats and cruise ships can safely navigate the more shallow water near the dock.
We have reluctantly made the decision to postpone our 2026 Season open date to July 1st.
We apologize for the inconvenience but there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. We are totally dependent, as are the island folk, on the services of the USACE.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please message this page or call the office at 410-968-2338.
