False Cape’s post-Thanksgiving hike starts at Back Bay

Visitors reserving False Cape State Park’s November 27 outing will meet at the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge parking lot in Virginia Beach. The departure location matters on this trip. The park lists its own Sandpiper Road address separately from the meeting point.

Rangers plan a 1.5-mile walk with views across Back Bay and toward the Atlantic. The advertised window is noon to 4 p.m. Sand and uphill sections make the distance alone a poor measure of the footing. The park asks participants to bring water and sturdy shoes.

Reservations are required, and the program costs $10 per person. The event listing also flags the standard parking or admission charge.
