Lake Shores - all beaches

This beach park offers a sheltered picnic area and public restrooms for visitors to enjoy. Although it can become crowded during tourist season, the beach is vast enough to wander for miles in search of the perfect spot to soak up the sun and have fun. You may even spot small crabs scurrying about or catch a glimpse of a dolphin swimming in the distance. However, during the summer months, small jellyfish may wash up on shore, which is a common occurrence in many coastal areas. Unfortunately, algal blooms can occur under certain conditions, posing a danger to wildlife. Nevertheless, these blooms can create a breathtaking display of bioluminescent waves that are truly a sight to behold, especially at night.

The beach is quite spacious, with shallow waters that are ideal for children and plenty of secluded areas for privacy. However, the water may not be very clear and can be cold.

The shoreline is absolutely delightful and it's a tad less crowded than the typical tourist hotspots in Virginia Beach. However, there are limited options for disposing of garbage and I witnessed a near-miss incident where someone almost stepped on a concealed fish hook in the sand. Exercise caution while visiting and it's advisable to wear sandals or flip flops when traversing the beach.

This stunning and immaculate beach is an exceptional destination that I strongly urge you to visit with your loved ones, furry friends, or for a leisurely stroll or jog. Its picturesque scenery is simply breathtaking, and if you're lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of the playful dolphins that often grace us with their presence.

The beach is easily accessible from the parking area. It's a pleasant beach, although there is some litter around, it's not too bad. I do wish people would take responsibility for cleaning up after themselves. On weekdays, it's not crowded at all.
