Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“Hampton Roads is the name of both a body of
water that serves as a wide channel for the James, Nansemond and Elizabeth rivers between Old Point Comfort and Sewell’s
Point where the Chesapeake Bay flows into the Atlantic Ocean and the
surrounding metropolitan region located in the Southeastern Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina portions of the Tidewater
region.
Comprising the Virginia Beach–Norfolk–Newport News,
VA–NC metropolitan area and an extended Combined Statistical Area that includes
the Elizabeth City, NC Micropolitan Statistical Area and Kill Devil Hills, NC
Micropolitan Statistical Area, Hampton Roads is known for its large military
presence, ice-free harbor, shipyards, coal piers, and miles of waterfront
property and beaches, all of which contribute to the diversity and stability of
the region’s economy.
The body of water known as Hampton Roads is one of the world's largest natural harbors (more accurately a roadstead or ‘roads’). It incorporates the mouths of the Elizabeth, Nansemond, and James rivers, together with several smaller rivers, and empties into theChesapeake
Bay near its mouth leading to the Atlantic Ocean.[1][2]”
