Visited 9/13/2012. Used Patuxent Approach for flight following. Military area was active above 3,500 with drones. No cell service on island. FBO was closed so I used the land line at Four Brothers carryout in town to close my flight plan. Put my $10 landing/tie down fee in the yellow honor box by FBO. Very friendly natives ready to please. Ate crab cake, homemade lemonade, and roof beer float at Four Bros. Rented a bike at FB for $4/hr. and rode every inch of path. Great photos are everywhere you look. Found beautiful beach beyond the displaced threshold. This is a quaint working town of commercial fishermen with 3 tour boats per day from the mainland. Don't expect splendour and you won't be disappointed. Can't wait to go back.

We ate dinner at the Chesapeake House today It was great as usual with lots of food. Crabcakes, Clam patties, Ham, apple sauce, corn pudding, beets, greenbeens, homemade coleslaw, potato salad, and pound cake. You can call for a reservation 757-891-2331. you can stay over night or just for dinner. Lorraine's sandwhich shop is always open. and Spanky's ice cream shop will be open next week. The Fisherman's Corner will also be open. Get here early and visit the Museum It is worth the trip. email the ASN for additional information.

Had a great visit to Tangier Island early August, 2010. Beautiful summer day, landed on the new runway with no issues, and parked near the gate. Landing fee is $10 but given the remote location, the enjoyable walk-around, and adventure of going offshore, the fee does not seem disproportionate to me. Had lunch in town, walked the length of the Island, and found everyone to be cheerful and welcoming. Probably a joy to visit in the fall. We'll be back. One point for the airport minders - a day of work straightening up outside the gate would work wonders - pulling out the old wrecks and generally tiding up. A little shine would go a long way in making a good first impression.

Flew into Tangier for an early spring visit. The first thing that strikes you is the smallness of the place, probably no more than a mile in each direction. The newly paved runway is inviting from the air, however. Once on the ground be prepared for a $10 landing fee that is stuffed into a box by the edge of the airport. The immediate area is kind of shabby, so take a walk over the bridge and stroll up and down Main Street. There seem to be cemeteries and stray cats at every turn.
