How could I have a blog about Hampton Road's nature spots without including the BEST part of Hampton Roads....THE BEACH. In Virginia Beach alone there is 12 miles of sand stretching from Sandbridge up to Fort Story. The Boardwalk at Oceanfront is 3 miles of entertainment, where tourists and locals can swim, eat, drink and enjoy carnival-like rides. In Norfolk there's Ocean View Beaches along the Chesapeake Bay. Ocean View is home to a the Ocean View Fishing Pier that extends 1,690 feet out into the Bay. Hampton is home to Buckroe Beach and Grandview Nature Preserve. Buckroe has a Bark Park near the beach where dogs can enjoy some playtime. Grandview Nature Preserve is a secluded 2-mile stretch along the Bay. There are nature trails that twist through the 475 acres of salt marshes. This is a great place to spot wildlife. There is practically a stretch of beach in every city along the east coast of Virginia. I enjoy the beaches more than any other nature spot, whether it's with my dogs in the winter or with my friends in the summer it is the ultimate place to swim, walk, run, spot wildlife, sunbath, play sports, surf and make memories with friends and family.
