Parramore Island is the southern most barrier island in Accomac County, VA. Owned by The Nature Conservancy's Virginia Coast Reserve, it is one of the largest and most heavily forested of the Virginia barrier islands, at 13 kilometers long and over 2 km at its widest point. The hack tower was constructed on the south end of the island behind the dune line and at the furthest point from the forest cover on the north end. Running north-south along the back side of the island a line of derelict utility poles provided numerous perches. As with other the other coastal hack sites, prey abundance and diversity was rich.

The Parramore hack site was visited by immature peregrines from other sites on at least 4 occasions during the hack period, suggesting this site may receive increased visitation in the future. This, in conjunction with the increasing number of nesting pairs on the coast, ruled Parramore out for additional years of use.
