Buckroe Beach Hampton, VA

 

      Buckroe Beach is the closest beach to our home. It's about 5-10 minutes away max and only takes two streets to get there; it's situated on the Chesapeake Bay.  Hurricane Isabelle ruined the beach but millions have been spent to repair it.  There is no longer an amusement park or other things like that there, but it's a fairly clean beach and a good place to fish.  In the summer, they have concerts and also show movies there and from the beach, you get a very close fireworks view on the 4th of July because they shoot off the fireworks from Fort Monroe. There are sheltered picnic tables, restrooms and a fishing pier. Rentals available nearby include charter fishing and personal watercraft. Biking, Run/Walk Trails, Fishing, Swim, Windsurfing, Waterskiing, Boating, Kayaking, Canoeing rentals available nearby. We have been there a couple times, but these photos were taken the first time we went.
