The peninsula is almost 180 by 60 miles and is bordered by the Chesapeake Bay on the west, and the Delaware River, Delaware Bay, and Atlantic Ocean on the east. The Eastern Shore of Maryland is composed of the American state's nine counties that are east of the Chesapeake Bay. They are Caroline County, Cecil County, Dorchester County, Kent County , Queen Anne's County, Somerset County, Talbot County, Wicomico County, Worcester County. Caroline County has no Bay shoreline. Only Worcester County has seashore, consisting of coastal bays and marshes behind two barrier islands. The number of barrier islands on the Maryland seacoast and the location of inlets has varied over the years. The Eastern Shore of Virginia consists of two counties (Accomack and Northampton) on the Atlantic coast of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. The region is part of the Delmarva Peninsula and is separated from the rest of Virginia by the Chesapeake Bay. Terrain is very flat throughout, and dominated by cotton, soybean, vegetable and truck farming, and large scale chicken farms. There are many barrier islands. At the northern end of the Atlantic side are the beach community of Chincoteague, famous for its wild ponies; and Wallops Flight Facility, a NASA space launch base. Tangier Island, off the western shore in Chesapeake Bay, is also a day tourist destination. The Eastern Shore, geographically removed from the rest of Virginia, has had a unique history of settlement and development.
