Stingray Point
Eight miles east, where the Rappahannock River joins Chesapeake Bay. Near there, in June, 1608, Captain John Smith, the explorer, was hurt by a stingray while fishing in the river. The point took its name from this incident.
Marker is at the intersection of General Fuller Highway (Virginia Route 33) and Twiggs Ferry Road (Virginia Route 3), on the right when traveling east on General Fuller Highway.
