Review & FAQ:

First Landing State Park is a 2,888-acre park located on Cape Henry in North Virginia Beach.

This coastal haven offers a range of activities, such as swimming, boating, hiking, biking, fishing, or having a picnic.

For overnight stays, there is a campsite or the park's cabins.

The beach is one and a quarter-mile long, located on the Chesapeake Bay.

There are no lifeguards on the First Landing's beach and no swimming is allowed at the boat launch area or in the Narrows.

The beach is mostly uncrowded and the water is warmer and calmer than in the Atlantic Ocean, perfect for small children.

There are marked entrances to the beach with boardwalks across the dunes to protect the fragile dunes’ plant life. The sand is white and very fine.
