Fort Monroe - Hampton Va -. Beach

Hampton Virginia's  National Monument - Fort Monroe, a decommissioned military installation.
Located on  Old Point Comfort, the southern tip of the Virginia Peninsula.

 Fort Monroe-170 historical buildings  inside of 565 acres.  Included is 8 miles of waterfront and 3.2 miles of beaches on the Chesapeake Bay.

A walk along the beach first.  I always feel better when I do.  Fresh air and a breeze with a pleasing walk in the sand took all of my cares away.  I just feel so much healthier near the water such as this.

Our day trip on Saturday consisted of  about a 90 mile drive. Will do again real soon.

Always good to be aware and good information posted looking over the water.





Seaweed?  Don't know what this is called.






A short clip of the bay

Behind me is the lighthouse and pictures tomorrow.
