Virginia - all beaches

This beach is a true hidden gem, with surprisingly little traffic. This is likely due to the limited parking options (street parking only) and the fact that visitors must walk through a nature preserve for just under 10 minutes before reaching the beach. However, once you arrive, the expansive beach is well worth the journey. I've been told that walking to the very end would take around three miles (although I can't confirm the accuracy of this), and I've spent over three hours exploring the entire stretch. This is a fantastic spot to bring your furry friends, especially during the off-season when you're likely to encounter very few people. I've even spotted dolphins swimming just 20-30 feet off the coast, which is truly amazing. The constant breeze is a refreshing touch, and this beach easily outshines the overcrowded Virginia Beach or Yorktown 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.

This exquisite haven on Earth is truly remarkable. While some may argue that it is otherworldly, I must confess that I am not well-versed in beach culture. Nonetheless, this spot is a gem worth exploring.
