First trip, on January 1, 2016: First Landing State Park and we enjoyed a walk on beach where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. It is north of Virginia Beach and a nice deviation from the commercialism of that area. The walk from the parking lot to the end of the beach (where a chain link fence prohibited walking further) was less than a mile. It was an easy walk with very few people on the chilly January day. Our yellow lab loved the walk and did a little swimming, as an experienced river dog, January temps didn’t phase her a bit.
