A great place to relax and watch the waves roll in. No vendors, no pan handlers, and no parking fees. Lots of free entertainment in the summer months - bands, movies, exhibits. Beach is very clean and Hampton police are usually visible. Life guards are on duty during the day. Beach is closed at sunset. Mostly locals go here, which means that it is usually not crowded (except for special events). Family friendly.
This beach was much less crowded than Virginia Beach,there was tons of parking which is free. Great location! Kids had a blast.
My wife and I were looking to find a beach near Williamsburg to walk along the water, and found reviews for Buchroe Beach and Park. We visited it on a Saturday in late September and found it immaculately groomed - the staff obviously take great care in keeping the beach clean. We went out on the smaller pier and had a great view. While it was too cool for swimming, it was a great spot to watch the water for a while.
The park is clean, well kept and a nice place to watch the ships and boats in the Chesapeake Bay. I'm not sure how safe it is in the park after dark.
Really nothing to down there but sit and look at the bay. The locals really enjoy it though. You have to venture through the slums of hampton to get there.
My kids wanted to visit a beach. We were here for a family reunion and it was a lot cleaner than what I remember as a kid. I like that there was a station to clean the sand off because I hate sand. We plan on going back this summer.
This tiny beach is not like the commercial busy beaches but is kind of tucked away from the mainstream traffic & commercialization , a very clean place . The beach offers 2 shelters for rent with grills , has a walkway , a bike trail along the beach . It also offers kayaks & paddle boats for rent . Lots of concerts on Sundays in Summer where you can bring a picnic,a blanket & enjoy the whole atmosphere . The park offers restrooms as well as outside water faucets to get the sand off . No pets are allowed though. Parking is a bit difficult on the weekends but it is for free . We go there every Father's day weekend & end up having a great time.
Free Parking close to the beach. Clean Bathrooms. Family Oriented. Only problem was they wanted you to pay to just walk out onto the pier.
The pier is by fee only even just to take a look. The neighborhood does nothing to capitalize on the beachfront location. I am not entirely sure I felt safe here during the off season.
Great spot to swim and be on the bay. A bit of a rough side of town with the odd pan handler, it is still a very nice place to visit and free!!
