Small preserve attractive to migrants in both spring and fall; worth a brief check of the boardwalk areas or a longer stint watching the bay at the boardwalk’s end, especially in autumn and winter, when jaeger and waterfowl shows can be significant. Access: Day use year-round. No bathroom facilities on site, but public restrooms five minutes away in Cape Charles (at beach; in central park; and at public library). The trails begin at a small signposted parking area at the end of Patrick Henry Avenue (off Bayshore Lane). Additional Info: Virginia DGIF Birding Trail Site

This is an area with some boardwalks and trails that go over some ponds and also out to overlook the beach. (No beach access though) You can see frogs, snakes, turtles and deer.

Boardwalk hike through a jungle of trees and growth to a private secluded beach.
