Smart MD Practices

The two of you will enjoy escaping the present and journeying to Virginia Beach's dramatic past when you plan a romantic date at the Francis Land House Historic Site. This is a 200-year-old plantation home that has been restored down to the last detail and is open for guided tours and special events. Each room in the house is decorated to reflect the furniture and other items of the period, complete with stunning antiques and reproductions that offer visitors a rare opportunity to peer into how the gentry class of the area used to live.

Without a doubt, the First Landing/Seashore State Park is Virginia Beach's crown jewel attraction. This National Natural Landmark draws more than a million visitors a year, and with good reason. As the state's most popular state park, the area features facilities for such fun activities as hiking, biking, camping, fishing, boating, crabbing and swimming. The facilities for camping are top notch as they include a camp store and laundry facilities. The park was established in the 1930s, and also is noted for being the northernmost point at which temperate and subtropical plants coexist. The park also features handicap accessibility and offer cabin rentals.

Embrace nature in a truly amazing way when you visit the False Cape State Park. This incredible slice of land is located at the southern end of Sandbridge Beach. You will immediately be struck by the area's rich outdoor beauty, and also by the fact that this area is the gateway to over 12,000 acres of protected coastal marsh habitat that offer a dramatic (and rare) opportunity to see nature in its purest form. You can get even closer to it all when you let the professionals at Back Bay Getaways lead you on an informative and entertaining trek through the area.
