Wikipedia describes
Hampton Roads is the name of both a body of water and a metropolitan region in Southeastern Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina, United States.
Comprising the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News-Hampton, VA-NC metropolitan area and an extended Combined Statistical Area that includes Elizabeth City 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 River, Nansemond River, and James River with several smaller rivers and empties into the Chesapeake Bay near its mouth leading to the Atlantic Ocean.
