First Landing is a great state park for the locals as well as the tourists. There are plenty of trails to hike or rather walk. It's not true hiking here but if you combine some of the trails you'll get a pretty good mileage workout. I have done as few as 3 miles but as many as 12 there. I... more

I am not sure what fbrothers is talking about. We spent 3-4 days at this beach in August and saw no dog poo whatsoever. In fact I jogged 2 miles each way and never saw any evidence of dog waste. There were some dogs on the beach, but the owners seemed very responsible. We have a 10 and 2 yr... more

Stayed for 4 days in Virginia beach. Made a couple of day trips to this park. It was a nice change of scenery from the action in the Resort area.

The beach is in the worse shape ever. Trash from one end to the other. Dogs run unleashed and defecate everywhere on the beach front. The smell is strong in some areas. I have been going there for over five years and now must find a new beach. more

We also went over the the playground area across the road from the visitor center. Very nice playground kind of... more

My husband and I enjoyed a few hours visit to this park in Sept. 2007. We couldn't find enough information online to know for sure if it would be a good destination for an afternoon trip, so we decided to go and find out! It is a very short drive from the main VA beach area. The park is on... more

When we first arrived the guys working at the entrance booth were really cool & extremely helpful. They gave us instuctions on how to get around the park and where our campsite was located. He made sure to point out the Camp Store should we need to get anything like ice (which we did). We got to our site (Site... more
