All points north or south

You will be traveling either north or south on Rte. 13. Turn east at the Rte. 175 stoplight in Oak Hall, Virginia. You won't mistake the direction, as there is only one way to turn (except a store on the other side). Rte. 175 will bring you onto Chincoteague Island. Landmarks at the stoplight are T's Corner gas station & store, Sonic drive-through, Food Lion on the east and a couple of small stores on the west side of the road. If you accidentally turn into the Food Lion parking lot, simply head left and turn right onto Rte. 175 from the side of the parking lot.
