This preserve contains sandy beach, low dune, and salt marsh habitats. Wind and water move sand creating an ever changing habitat on the narrow beach. Rare marsh and colonial nesting birds as well as the globally rare northeastern beach tiger beetle and a globally rare beach plant are protected on the property.

The preserve is open year-round, but access to the southern portion of the property is seasonally restricted from May 1 through September 15 to protect the colonial nesting birds. Dogs must be leashed while on the preserve.
We offer a compact version of Go-Virginia for mobile users, allowing you to access just the information you need on the road. Of course, you can still use the full version of Go-Virginia on your mobile device just as you can on your desktop.
