Pleasure House Point Natural Area, nestled in the bustling city of Virginia Beach, is a serene escape for both locals and tourists seeking a connection with nature. Unlike traditional beach destinations, this 118-acre preserve along the Lynnhaven River offers a more natural, untouched shoreline where the main attractions are the coastal environment and the diverse wildlife. The area boasts a unique landscape with sandy shores changing into marshy lands and dense green foliage. At Pleasure House Point Natural Area, activities such as bird watching, hiking along sandy and marshy trails, and photography are popular, especially for those who appreciate the subtleties of coastal ecosystems. Pleasure House Point Natural Area has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does not have restrooms, lifeguard services, or facilities for dogs, making it essential for visitors to come prepared for a day of exploration and natural beauty.
