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.

Got there after the casement was closed. Part of the upper wall is a pet cemetery. That made me a little sad and miss home and our cats even more. So John is coming. Walked half way around on the upper wall then through the parade ground. Saw the Lincoln cannon. Didn’t stay for sunset, couldn’t find a good foreground.

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

Lots of work being done so when they get some restoration finished hopefully it will be a great historical spot to visit. Detours so couldn’t get to the lighthouse. Museum not open on Mondays.

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!
