This 12 mile drive is always worth the trip because we love to walk on the beaches and boardwalk. You will see ships entering & leaving the local bases...A very impressive sight! This Fort is oozing with history. Don't forget to visit the historic Casemate Museum. To finish our day at the Fort, we eat at The Deadrise Restaurant (757) 788-7190 to taste some of the local catch. You must try their Seafood Nachos!

This is my go-to when I want to walk in nature. There's a nice playground, lots of picnic tables, and a small museum with real snakes! Rent a paddle boat or canoe. There is also a dog park but would require you to register your dog + $10.
