Visit A Natural Park
In Virginia Beach, there are so many beautiful places to explore! This is something great to do on your own, with a friend, with family, or with your dog!
Reconnect with nature at one of these Virginia Beach spots:
Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge
Our favorite time to visit a park in Virginia Beach is May and June because everything is in bloom, but not too hot to enjoy the sights!
