バージニアビーチ市周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Good footwear is useful in the rain.

The bald cypress is truly impressive. It is primarily found in flooded areas but can also survive severe droughts. Its extremely slow growth and very advanced age characterize it, as does its so-called "breathing knee," which grows upwards like a root against gravity, resembling a termite mound in its shape.

While not paved, the trail here is hard packed and may be doable depending on your bike. At this point East Dike crosses the Dune Trail, which is a lovely little boardwalk that you can walk your bike down to get beach access and beautiful views of the Atlantic.

From the Virginia Beach boardwalk you'll be treated to peaceful and pristine views of the Atlantic.

Long Creek offers wonderful, serene views of the Long Creek and Broad Bay Area of Virginia Beach.

The pier is a great place for a break while riding the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. You need to get a day ticket to get access to all of the pier, but even without a ticket you still get a great view of the coastline.

First Landing State Park is the biggest natural attraction in the city of Virginia Beach (besides the actual beach, of course). The trails here range from smooth and flat to rocky and hilly. You can expect a little bit of everything if you are linking together different trails, which are well-marked at pretty much every intersection.

Small lake just inside the park. It's surprisingly quiet compared to the busy beaches nearby.
