Blackwater is located in Moyock, NC, not exactly a tourist mecca! Just north, where you will probably find lodging, is Chesapeake, also not well known for it's tourism industry. However, the adjoining locales of Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, Yorktown, Newport News, etc. can be fascinating places to visit, not only for general tourist trap activities, but also for colonial and civil war history. I recommend scheduling a few days before or after the shooting.
