Virginia has some of the most beautiful beaches on the East Coast – and it’s pretty rare to find one without many admirers. And yet there are still a few secret spots which relatively few folks know about. If you haven’t made a trip to James County, you’ll be surprised to know that the nearby beach is rather untouched. Of course, this spot is a local favorite and you won’t be completely alone, but most people in the state aren’t aware of this amazing spot.
When most people hear about Jamestown, they often think of the historic area where some of America’s earliest settlers landed. Fewer people know about the gorgeous recreational area known as the Jamestown Beach. This local favorite is not nearly as well-known as Virginia Beach and other such locations, but has all the same beach-friendly amenities.

There's plenty of activity available along this beautiful coast. Visitors can enjoy fishing, swimming, and plenty of walking. And, of course, there is no activity more popular than sitting by the beach and watching the waves. You an also enjoy a sunset dinner and make use of the picnic areas. There are even grills available on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you’ve got a weekend to spend in the area, you might even consider camping. While you can’t set up a tent on the beach itself, the Chickahominy Riverfront Park is just a short distance away. This campground has over 100 campsites and can accommodate larger groups.
Even on an overcast day, Jamestown Beach is a gorgeous area to enjoy. Its proximity to the Jamestown Settlement will also make for a very memorable trip, as you explore Virginia's coast much like earliest settlers did. With such beautiful surroundings and the timeless feel of Jamestown, you really will feel a million miles away from it all.
