About First Landing Beach
First Landing Beach offers calm, protected waters ideal for swimming and paddleboarding, backed by a historic maritime landscape where the 1607 English colonists first landed in the New World. The beach features a scenic boardwalk with adjacent nature trails through maritime forest, providing a quieter alternative to the busier central Virginia Beach oceanfront while still offering convenient amenities and a family-friendly atmosphere. The shallow, gentle conditions and historical significance attract visitors seeking both relaxation and educational connection to early American colonial history.

Loved it! Very clean. Not nearly as crowded as ocean front. Clean restrooms. (Only 2!) Outside shower rinsing station. Affordable parking for all day access. Paved parking. Separate camping area. Easily accessible for ADA, strollers, wagons. Dog friendly. Clean beach. Warm water. Very calm water. We saw pelicans and dolphins while in the water. We will definitely be back!
Nice park with decent beachfront, you can find hermit crabs ect. here. Very beautiful entrance fee is only 10$ and the provide restrooms!
It was a beautiful beach and all but way overly crowded, you need to watch out for jelly fish tentacles bc I was there one time over the summer and a family member got stung and we had to leave. But it's a good place they just need a sign that's says beware of jelly fish
Really pretty view in a nice area. Was $10 to park and they have a little trail thing to help you walk on the sand a little. The beach was clean, but I didn't really see anywhere to put trash. I only took a star off because it's one of those beaches where I'd recommend shoes. Lots of sharp shells and rocks to step on in the shallows. Overall a nice day out with the family.
An absolutely gorgeous beach! We stayed at a nearby hotel and went to this beach every evening, the views are stunning and the beach is also very clean.
