We rented bikes on the Virginai beach boardwalk and took them into the park. The hiking/biking trails are very well marked. The park was itself was in low season mode the gate was not manned the park ranger buildings were empty to, but that was because it was the begining of May. The trails were very well maintained and just... More

Having lived in the area most of my life, at 57 I figured it was finally time to discover this park. I've visited Back Bay a few times but never ventured down to the state park. So after a few workouts at the gym, I figured it was finally time to load up the bike and venture down to the... More

This was a wonderful surprise to me, but what a find. It's beautiful & has a great bike trail that runs all around water, birds & trees. There was no fee in Jan, not sure about summer. Very clean.

We stayed at the educational center / lodge which is really great! Located right on Back Bay, really beautiful. The rangers are super helpful, always easy to find and very nice. Really enjoyed our sunset kayak trip and snake watching!

Bring your camera! This is a beautiful place. I went kayaking with a group twice this summer and really want to go back before the summer is over. I've also biked the trails here. It's beautiful and a must see in VA Beach!

This is a quiet place to visit and explore. It is away from the hustle and bustle of the area beaches and other parks. Nice place to pick up some shells too. Just a nice all around place for a day hike, bike, walk, or picnic.

False Cape State Park is a beautiful place to go and take a beach hike/camping trip for the weekend. It is very remote and is genuinely a primitive park, so you had best be prepared with good camping gear and lots of water bottles as there is only one fresh water spigot on 12 miles of beach. There is lots... More

Unbelievable raw and natural environment to see. A wonderful hiking area, and their are not too many parks left so natural. One where ocean meets the trees.
