• If you rent a car, note that the Coleman Bridge that connects Gloucester Pt to the rest of world charges toll (~$1). Most rental car companies will offer you the option of having an EZ-pass gadget in the car, or you can pay at the toll booth each time. If you stay at Hampton Inn, you don't need to cross the bridge to come to VIMS.
