This is also a favorite spot for area Jet Ski enthusiasts to practice their sport. Just follow Atlantic Avenue north from the resort area to 64th Street and turn left. You'll see the entrance to First Landing State Park at the end of the street. If you visit in the off-season, just follow the directions on the signs. The trails on either side of the ranger station are unsurpassed for hiking and jogging.
Public restrooms are near both the boat ramp and the ranger station.
This best-kept secret beach is at the extreme North End of the numbered streets in the Virginia Beach resort area. To find it, simply travel along Atlantic Avenue as far north as you can go. Between 82nd and 83rd Streets, Atlantic Avenue will curve into Shore Drive. There's a light there, and you need to take a hard right to stay on Atlantic Avenue. After five more blocks, you'll see the entrance to Fort Story Army Base.
