Buckroe Beach and Park

Very clean, beautiful park with friendly people! Highly recommend. A little sad that it's only dog friendly September 15-May 15th as my puppy loves beach walking with me and watching the ocean and people.

Great beach, clean, large, water great. You can walk pretty far along the beach. The signs say no dogs on beach until after September 15th. However, we saw quite a few little ones with their owners. There are lifeguards most of the time.

We love Buckroe Beach! Our first trip here was last year and only a day trip but we loved it so much that we spent 3 days on the beach this year and plan to come back year after year! The beach is beautiful and not so crowded that you don't have your own space. My kids enjoyed both playing in the sand and the water.

Visited as Tropical Storm Ophelia approached. Beautiful, clean beach, play areas, seating, and restrooms. Extra special this time as the sand, wind, and waves combined for some cool beach art.

Nice beach, many life guards with a police presence. Clean, well lite area. Only issue was parking. If you are looking for a good, safe, clean beach for you and your kids in which you don’t have to worry about strong rip currents this is your beach. Even had local food trucks driving past. If you are into fishing many places to fish. I plan on returning to walk beach really soon.

Great quiet beach experience. ⛱ there was ample space to spread out and not too many people. The water was nice, and we went out about 10-15 feet, and the water was only about 3 feet deep. There was jellyfish out, so keep your eyes open. Great family-friendly beach!

Quaint small town beach. Well maintained and plenty of police presence making sure rules are followed. We enjoyed the many areas to sit or swing. The Park includes a nice size playground for the kids of all ages, a separate from the boardwalk bike trail with multiple areas to tend to your bicycle or pump air in tires. The bathrooms close early, like the rest if the beach and park access so keep that in mind. Their are showers located on the side of the building. There is a stage for live music or movie night. Would love to see the city begin that again! There's also a Farmers Market every Saturday. Appreciate seeing locals care for the beach and pick up litter left behind from beach goers. All and all a family friendly, wonderful area to gather with friends and family and enjoy a day at the beach.

Plenty of parking. Good restrooms that are accessible as well as family style single room bathrooms beach side. Large fenced playground. Lots of room to spread out on the beach. Ice cream truck rolls by periodically. Boardwalk is long and very wide. Great for strolling.

This was a busy experience viewing the goods for sale at the street market. Very busy! It looked very clean and safe.
I didn't get to the beach, but enjoyed the shopping at local craft vendors.

If you don't want the hustle and bustle of Virginia Beach and just want to enjoy the ocean with great parking, this is the beach for you. I enjoy the short drive from Richmond, VA and the great (free) parking. The people are always friendly here, and I love posting under the dock where there is shade and the enjoyable sound of the waves crashing. I really have spent many summers here and the adult singing benches are a bonus.

We went on purple flag day( jellyfish alert). The lifeguard was very nice to explain this to my son. We still ventured ahead and had a great time. He was able to meet a friendly kid an they had a blast together. The beach could use a little sprucing up but otherwise nice. There is also a playground on site but we did not get a chance to use it. There was a cop at the end of the night making the announcement that the beach was closing. However you can't really hear it. We only understood because we were leaving and walking in that direction. So if you see the cop at the end of the night it's time to get ready to leave. Have a great time.

I love this place. I often just park and look at the beach and enjoy my lunch break. It is one of the few beaches where you can enjoy an eye level view of the beach without getting out of your car (especially if it's cold)

Nice area to enjoy the beach and let kid play. Free of charge. Tons of parking space. Some free concert for teenagers. Family friendly.

I can not get enough of this beach!!! It is beautiful! The park is very nice. There is a small stage for outdoor concerts. I love the swings & benches along the boardwalk. Nice picnic areas. Clean bathrooms & wash up stations. The port-a-pottys could use a regular cleaning, but its a port a potty so keep your expectations low. My only issue: not open late enough.
If I may offer a recommendation or consideration to the people in charge... My husband & I are into star gazing & late night strolls along the beach. Maybe have an evening or 2 on a weekend (or maybe every other weekend) to allow limited access until 12:00 midnight? No children under 18 unless accompanied by an adult. No swimming after sundown on said evenings. Just an opportunity to sit & enjoy this beautiful beach at night!!

One of our favorite in the area. Free parking close to the beach. Playground and restroom facility available. Free boardwalk and a fishing pier not far away. Life guards on duty during peek season.

Buckroe Beach was really cool, Simply cant beat free parking and the Boardwalk all the while gasping at the Ocean.Plenty of restrooms and Shelter for some Amazing Cookouts which the grill is already provided for you. No Alcohol allowed and There are Rangers patrolling as well as the City Police. So drive safe and enjoy The Buckroe beach with a Fishing Pier .

This place is a bit of a hidden gem. It's a smallish beach facing the Chesapeake Bay. So the waves are pretty modest which is easier for folks with young kids. Plenty of parking with easy access to the beach. Not overcrowded. Nice board walk and a couple of piers. Clean bathrooms and changing rooms. A large children's playground.

The surrounding area is a largely residential neighborhood. So there's not as much eating, entertainment, or night life options if that's your thing. If you prefer a slower pace then it might be what you're looking for.

Visited the beach walked the boardwalk and listened to the sounds of the ocean. Looking forward to visiting in the summer.

I came here after a customer at my job recommended it for good sea glass hunting, and they weren't kidding about that! The beach is absolutely gorgeous and there was a ton of sea glass! I found so much in just one weekend, more than I've ever found before in my life! I came during mid-September, so the beach was relatively peaceful, and made for some very quaint and relaxing beach walks while hunting for sea glass! There are also a lot of great amenities at this beach, including bathrooms, shelters, a fishing pier, a lighthouse, a very large playground, and they also have weekly farmer's markets in the courtyard in front of the entrance to the beach, and the parking is free! I can't wait to come back to this beach!!!

Absolutely wonderful! There's a play area and BBQ for families. They have beach side swings and seating. Mostly importantly lots of shells and beautiful rocks for collecting as well!
