Catch Blue Crabs, Bass, Catfish and see one of the best sunsets Virginia Beach has to offer!

From the Virginia Beach ocean front, head South on VA-149/General Booth Blvd for 6 miles. Turn left onto Princess Anne Rd and head South for 10.5 miles. Turn right onto Old Pungo Ferry Rd. Take this road until it ends at a small park.

From here, hike along the water's edge to find the best place to photograph the bridge and surrounding area. This spot is also a great place to put in a kayak or canoe.This area is also a great place to fish for bass or catfish. The waters are also loaded with blue crabs!
