Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next First Landing State Park adventure.
Get a taste of history and relive the journey of the English Colonists' first landing in Cape Henry.
Virginia's most visited state park has played an amazing part in our country's history. Its waterways have been navigated by Native American canoes, 20th-century schooners, and modern cargo ships.
Supposedly, Blackbeard himself hid in the park's narrows to avoid capture. The king of Virginia state parks is a little slice of paradise in the urban center of Virginia Beach.
Here you'll find a sprawling natural area filled with bald cypress-lined swamps, a maritime forest, deep lagoons, and rare plants. Venture on the 20 miles of varied hiking trails, and relax on 1.5 miles of sandy beach on the Chesapeake Bay.
This park offers a single boat launch at the Narrows for the anglers and sailors. The campground and camp store is located right on the bay for incredible views. Anywhere you decide to rest, the cool sea breeze from the beach is here to ease you to quality ZzZs.
The best time to visit First Landing State Park is during spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summers can be hot and crowded, while winters are quieter but cooler. Plan your visit around these seasons for the best experience.
