back bay national wildlife refuge印象
-
we had a nice visit down to the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge near Sandbridge, VA south of Virginia Beach (a half hour drive). We're not official "birders" but managed to see Cormorants, Turkey Vulture, Snow, Canada and Blue Geese, Tundra Swan, Mallard, Canvasback, Pintail and Northern Shoveller Ducks, Osprey, Bald Eagle, Coots, Gulls, Terns, Mourning Doves, Flicker, BlueJay, Crow, Starling, Robin, Red-winged Blackbird, Eastern Meadowlark, Common Grackle, Carolina Wren and Yellow Rumped Warbler! Not bad! Nice interpretive signage, and plenty of trails for hiking, nice "blinds" for getting a little closer to the waterfowl, and look out for the turtles and cottonmouth snakes!

Not many birds; crabs were interesting. There are lots of trails. The beach is away from the tourist trap areas.

Back Bay and the adjacent False Cape State Park give you a glimpse of what the oceanfront was like before being built up. Miles and miles of pristine, nearly uninhabited beaches. Bike/hike trails along the interior dikes, leading to Virginia's most southern state park (False Cape). Our favorite place to go in Virginia Beach.

If you are ever in Va Beach and our looking to take a nature hike or just see the softer sides of Va, take a ride out to back bay, this is a place everyone should see. Hiking, boating kayaking, basketball courts, and of course the view of the intercostal water way.

The weather was bad so we didn't take the tram, but it looks beautiful and we can't wait to get back and ride the tram and put the yaks in the bay

great back to nature experience... I am sure I would have enjoyed it more if it had been warmer regardless it was a nice way to spend a few hours

This is one of the great walking beaches. The only downer were the porta - toilets at the ranger station. Maybe the filthiest I have ever seen- and I've been to rock concerts,

If it's one thing the girls and I like to do, it's hike. We decided to visit our friend In Virginia Beach, so this was very close and convenient. Great day walking the trails and exploring, definitely a great outdoors day trip.

I only have visited during the winter months, so my opinions may be skewed. Back Bay is definitely secluded and a drive from anywhere in Virginia Beach, unless you live in Sand Bridge. There are some nice trails that move along the water, a few benches here are there. A great place to come and watch the sunset, take some photos or just relax to peace and quiet.
