Relax at Haven Beach
4.0I discovered Mathews, VA while watching Beachfront Bargain Hunt on HGTV! It’s a quiet county close to the coast. One of the beaches close to Mathews is Haven Beach. It’s an uncrowded beach with parking and a bathroom (porto potty style). There’s not much in Mathews, but there is a 7-Eleven that...Read more -

Catch Sunset on the Wild Shores of Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge
5.0At the far south end of Virginia Beach’s Sandbridge community lies a seldom visited natural treasure, Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge.

Relax at Lake Thompson
Lake Thompson is a great spot for fishing, walking, or just exploring the area with your dog. I've never had a problem with parking, but you're unlikely to find yourself alone at the lake on a nice weekend day. Its a 10-acre lake, however, so you shouldn't have a problem carving out a little bit...Read more -
Basye, Virginia
Orkney Springs Trail
4.94 mi / 1440 ft gainEasy to get to from Bryce resort, Orkney Springs Trail is a moderate to challenging trail. It starts with an easy trail through the woods but does get very steep in mile 2 in what seems like a very rocky dried-out river bed. There is a spectacular view around mile 2. If that's what you’re after y...Read more
