"Land across the water". A tiny island off the eastern shore of Virginia. Tourist flock here every summer to crowd the beaches and watch the world famous "Pony Swim". Home of the Chincoteague Volunteer Firemans Carnival, and Pony Tails salt water taffy.
The locals enjoy listening to their police scanners, sharing the latest gossip over a hot cup of coffee at McDonalds, driving 25 mph, and getting intoxicated at one of the many local watering holes. The "good ol' boy" system is strictly honored
Chincoteague is only approximatly 3X5 miles in size, but, large enough to contain about 75 hotels, and 1000 resturants,& 30,000 rednecks.
Chincoteague is a paradise for vacationers.
Unfortunatly, not so much for the locals. Careers are limited to waitress(or waiter), cashier, housekeeper, or bartender. Some of the upper-class Chincoteaguers get into real estate. This affords them the ability to look down upon other locals.

A somewhat redneck invested island. Half of Chincoteague's population are inbred hillbillies and the other half are ether comeheres, or rich stuck up holister wereing pricks. But you do have some of the good people you might expect. Chincoteague is 21sq miles (that is 3x7 miles). Chincoteague is an old indian word for pretty mutch land surrounder by water.
