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.

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.

My sister in-law, my 13 year old daughter and I went to false cape state park on 08/30/2012. It was a very hot Saturday at 90'sF. We drove to back bay national wildlife refuge to catch 9.00am bus tram. It is the only 9.00am bus for the whole day. The bus tram back at 1.00pm. it was about 6 to... More
