Virginia's Coastal Regions  
Maps: Eastern Shore | Chesapeake Bay | Tidewater/Hampton Roads

By mid-November Virginia's coastal vegetation ranges from the bronze of sea oats to the golden rust of cane grasses. Falling leaves open the forests and abundant wildlife becomes more visible. Whether you visit Virginia's Hampton Roads, Chesapeake Bay or Eastern Shore, there is great opportunity to use your binoculars and camera.

Peep More Than Leaves

Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge is a wonderful place to watch the fall migration of birds, especially snow geese and ducks. See loggerhead sea turtles, piping plovers, peregrine falcons and bald eagles, too. The Chickahominy Wildlife Management Area and the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge are popular viewing areas as well.

Virginia Beach's Mount Trashmore Park features a paved 4.9 trail for biking and hiking, too.

At the north end of the Eastern Shore is Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and Assateague Island National Seashore. The area includes a 3.2-mile wildlife loop and a 1.6-mile woodland trail for hikers and bikers. Large numbers of herons and egrets can be seen as well as red maple, oak and sweetgum in all their glory.
