Great Loop Lifestyle: Tangier Island, Virginia

Tangier Island is a unique and wonderful stop on the Great Loop. Ten miles off the coast of Maryland, but worlds away from life on the mainland, Tangier Island is dwindling in both population and size. The island is sinking and that combined with rising water levels means it will be completely underwater within 30 - 50 years. Don't miss visiting Tangier Island while you still can! The Perch's crew visited and were enthralled by the golf cart tour provided by a local guide and the unique way of life on the island.
