Absolutely gorgeous. Perfect place to watch the sunrise. Or catch a few dolphin sightings. You might see some container ships or barges, as well. Amazing seeing all the historical sites. I'll definitely be back in the summer to make use of the fantastic beaches!

There's nobody there you can walk all around the place. No tickets or anything. Plus you can watch all the ships coming in and out of the ports. It's a very cool place. Lots of history.

Fort Monroe is an incredible piece of American history. The views of the Chesapeake Bay are beautiful, and the old fort itself is fascinating to walk through. You can feel the history everywhere you go — definitely worth the stop if you’re in the area.

Awesome Place, an engineering marvel. FREE to enter. Great tour. Lots to see and do. Worth the visit.

Beautiful area to walk. We take our 3 German Shepherds and we walk the grounds where the huge trees are. So relaxing. Highly recommend.

I love Ft Monroe. I worked at the YMCA 52 years ago and met my husband there. We got married at the Chapel if the Centurion. Great place to visit!

The historical sites are very interesting. The fort is open to the public. There are beaches that have little to no waves, and one can enjoy the passing of cargo ships closely.

Lived in the area for just over three years and have been coming to Fort Monroe for almost as long. I can say that today is the best this beach has looked during our time coming. It has obviously been combed and is definitely an inviting look. Zero sea grass or anything; just a clean looking beach. Great job to the workers who put the work in at this beach!
