Renting a trailer in Saxis
Saxis sits on the northern Pocomoke Sound on Virginia's Eastern Shore, reached from US 13 at Temperanceville by following Route 695 east about nine miles. Town life gathers at the harbor, where a lit fishing pier, a one-lane boat ramp and an open-sided event pavilion stand close together. The pavilion has power and water, but its restrooms are in the town office building next door, and the Saxis Island Museum in the old Crockett Store sits a short way up Saxis Road.
Harbor events cluster in one small waterfront area, so settle the trailer location at the same time the pavilion is booked.
Jobs and events near Saxis
Harbor car show crowds
The annual car and truck show runs 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the town harbor in early September, and the 2023 edition shared the day with a town-wide yard sale and a museum open house. A day with visitors spread between the harbor and the museum is where portable restrooms help.
Evening pier and ramp events
A kids fishing tournament is held at the pier each year, while the boat ramp restrooms are listed only from dawn to dusk. Events running into the evening can use a trailer to fill that gap.
Who to ask about permits in Saxis
The Town of Saxis issues its own building permits, and the Town permit comes before any Accomack County building permit.

Trailer placement can be confirmed with the Town office and Accomack County building and zoning.
- Town office hours are Tuesday and Thursday, 6 to 8 p.m.

Parking and access around Saxis Harbor
The harbor is the working center of town, and space is shared between several uses. Public parking is allowed along the seawall by the fishing pier. The boat ramp lot is limited to roughly 10 to 12 vehicles with trailers, and overnight parking there is not allowed. The Event Pavilion has a concrete floor, power, running water, picnic tables and a grill. Before booking a date, it is worth deciding where a trailer will sit relative to the pavilion, the seawall and the ramp lot.
When harbor events tend to happen
The Saxis Oyster Roast is ticketed through the Saxis Island Museum store and the town homepage listed Oct. 17 for the latest one, which points to mid-October, though the year of that listing was not stated. The Sammy Marshall Memorial Car and Truck Show is an annual early-September event at the harbor, held September 9, 2023 as its 9th annual and September 7, 2024 as its 10th; later editions were not confirmed. The kids fishing tournament at the pier is annual, with no date posted. The museum is open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and by appointment on other days.

Renting near Saxis: common questions
Where in Saxis do events usually gather?
Most of the town's public activity is around the harbor, which has the fishing pier, the boat ramp and the Event Pavilion. The annual car show is also held at the town harbor. The museum is a short distance away on Saxis Road.
Are restrooms available at the pier after dark?
The pier is lit and open 24 hours a day, but the boat ramp page lists its restrooms only from dawn to dusk. The pavilion's restrooms are in the town office building next door. An evening event at the pier may therefore need its own facilities.
How do trailers reach Saxis from the highway?
From US 13 at Temperanceville, Route 695 runs east about nine miles into town and turns sharply left near the water. The pier is on the right about a mile into town. The drive from Maryland is about 152 miles, or about 4 hours 45 minutes.
