Parksley is a charming, walkable Eastern Shore town built around a picture‑perfect town square and the Eastern Shore Railway Museum—quiet, safe, and ideal for multi‑week contracts if you value small‑town character, easy parking, local shops, and low‑stress evenings away from a big city pace.
When you want more nightlife, restaurants or an airport, larger population centers like Salisbury, MD and the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area are within roughly a 1–1.5 hour drive, making Parksley a peaceful home base with weekend escape options nearby.
