Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge

Wonderful wildlife refuge with trails, walkways along the coast allowing options to watch wildlife in its natural settings. The trails are well maintained, the resource center is equipped with host of information, and the staff is helpful and friendly. A great facility for a family to enjoy a day with nature. A fantastic find in Virginia Beach area. We visited in mid-March so we did not suffer any green fly attacks and had a very pleasant visit.

This is a great place to come in both summer and winter. In summer there is a pristine beach with many native seabirds and large shells to observe. In winter, many migratory birds from up north come down here, and you can even see things like tundra swans.

The beach is truly beautiful. We got married there! I’ll always be grateful for the incredible customer service the park rangers provided. It’s a great spot for hiking, camping, fishing, or even a wedding! Back Bay has something for everyone!

Nice trails and scenery. Helpful guides in the building. Restrooms available.

Really nice place!!! Beautiful Walking trails every where.
