This year’s Beach Trip will be to the First Landing State Park (formerly Seashore State Park) near Virginia Beach.

GENERAL INFO: Originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, First Landing State Park is located on the Chesapeake Bay and is Virginia’s most visited. The park offers boating, swimming, Nature and History Programs, hiking, biking, picnicking, a boat launch, and 19 miles of trails on 2,888 acres. It also has campsites, some with bay access, water and electric hook-ups, and nearby access to restrooms and showers. The park's name was changed in 1997 to First Landing State Park to reflect its heritage as the first place where members of the Virginia Company landed before they went on to settle Jamestown.
