This national natural landmark, one of Virginia's most visited state parks, was one of the first six state parks established in 1936, formerly Seashore State Park. The park's new name reflects its unique history as the site of the landing of the first permanent English settlers on April 26, 1607. In addition to its cultural significance, the park offers a variety of recreational opportunities including 19 miles of hiking trails, a bike trail, boat ramp, campsites, picnic areas, and cabins. Visitor Center exhibits in the natural area explain the uniqueness of this environment featuring lagoons, cypress swamps, and Spanish moss.The new Chesapeake Bay Center complex will feature a Welcome Center, two exhibit areas, a camp store, a 185 seat outdoor amphitheatre, park offices, and a bay lab which will provide nature based programs conducted by the Virginia Marine Science Museum.
