[@trvlnthru]

Thanks so much for watching our video. First Landing State Park was so beautiful. We loved visiting the beach and the him trails here! Thanks for the full watch and comment!

[@JohnsRetirementTravelVlog]

Incredibly beautiful state park. Such a lovely nature scenery. Gorgeous place to explore and enjoying the beauty of nature. Thanks for showing us around. Fantastic footage. Thumbs up!

[@trvlnthru]

We do love this state park. We can see why it is the most popular state park in Virginia. We always try to spend some time there whenever we visit Jack's family who lives in the Virginia Beach area. Thanks so much for watching our video. We are glad you enjoyed it!

[@comicsgrinder]

Totally agree. So much to see and do!

[@SwiftyTravels]

Looks like a nice park! I hope to make it back to Virginia Beach one day - I was born there!!

[@trvlnthru]

I hope you make it back to Virginia Beach as well. Jack is from the area too so we are there a few times a year to see his family. But this park really is a favorite attraction of ours in the area. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Beautiful beach. Thats me, I would want to climb the light house to the top for some wonderful views. Some great t/shirts in the gift store. Me! Me! Me! I want to do the hiking trails 🤣Interesting facts about the Bald Cyprus trees. That red Cardinal Bird is gorgeous. A cute squirrel. Thank you Alice and Jack for taking us to this wonderful location. 🙏🏽 Have a great weekend.

[@trvlnthru]

This was such a lovely park. We love lighthouses as well. We planned on checking it out on this visit but it was closed to the public when we filmed this 6 weeks ago. You couldn't even get near it since it was on a military base and they weren't letting tourists on at the time. But we have seen it before. Great views of the ocean and the city of Virginia Beach! Thanks for watching our video and for leaving a great comment!

[@HaswellTravelled]

Wonderful First Landing State Park - great information as always. Beautiful Bald Cypress Trail - would be great to stroll through. Well done, my friends. Big like and full play 👍. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend 😀.

[@trvlnthru]

We love the beach at this park. But that Bald Cypress trail is hauntingly beautiful to see in person. We have walked that trail several times and love it. Thanks you for the full play and for taking the time to comment on our video! We are glad you enjoyed it.

[@EllySpace]

Wonderful park and great beach! Thank you for sharing! Greetings from Elly ❤️❤️❤️

[@trvlnthru]

This really is a lovely park. We want to go back when we are next in town as there are still a few trails we haven’t seen yet. And that beach is so relaxing compared to the busier public beach down the road (which is also lovely - just has lots of people there in the summer). Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@traveling8799]

Wonderful state park nature presentation my friends thumbs up 👍

[@trvlnthru]

This particular state park really is wonderful. We love the views of the beach and the bald cypress grove whenever we visit. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@trendingwwwandw]

thanks for showing us Virginia Beach very beautiful video!

[@trvlnthru]

This park is one of our favorite places in Virginia Beach. We can't wait to go visit it again next time we travel to the area. Thank you so much for watching our video! We are glad you enjoyed it!

[@magicforfour1068]

Wow ! how scenic!! i love a good hike in a summer day!!

[@trvlnthru]

Yes! This is a great season for getting out in state and national parks and enjoying a hike through nature. We love this one because of the beautiful beaches and the fascinating swamp area. Thanks so much for watching!

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Nice place 👍 great views😀

[@trvlnthru]

First Landing State Park was such a fun place to spend the day getting back to nature. We loved the beach and the hiking trails. Thanks for watching our video and for leaving a comment!

[@sidneybass7991]

Thanks for your continued process of presenting short yet succinct videos that never miss a detail. Even on my busiest days it is never a problem taking a few minutes out to relax and learn something new. Kudos on a job well done.

[@trvlnthru]

That is such a wonderful compliment. We are glad you are enjoying our videos. We try to pack a lot of information in a short runtime. Thank you so much for watching and for leaving a comment!

[@comicsgrinder]

First Landing is a total gem.

[@OffRampAdventures]

Nice wide beaches in that part of Virginia...might have to put this on our vacation list!

[@trvlnthru]

You should put Virginia Beach on your list! It is such a lovely area. We always enjoy our beach vacations in this area. The beaches are wide and clean. And if you visit this park, the beach here isn't usually too crowded. It can get crowded out on the main beach by the Virginia Beach boardwalk. But we usually enjoy that as well. Thanks so much for watching!

[@JNTravels]

We always liked Virginia Beach especially in the off-season🐸

[@trvlnthru]

Yes, we love it in the off season too. We end up there in pretty much every season since some of Jack's family still lives in the area. But it does get very crowded in summer. Spring and fall is very pleasant in the area. We even like winter though it is too cold to hang out at the beach in the winter. Thanks so much for watching our video and taking the time to comment!

[@SantosChronicles]

Alice and Jack, we need you guys to make a quick cameo in all your videos. I feel like you guys are the Wizards behind the curtain. This park looks beautiful and has to be nice that it is not so wavy. Our family loves seeing light houses also. But that dark water because of the roots looked creepy - just waiting for swamp things. Thanks for sharing another great area.

[@trvlnthru]

We are actually pretty introverted so it is out of our comfort zone to be doing these videos at all even though we are not appearing in them - and aren't super eager to be the stars of our videos. But we get it - viewers like to get to know the people they watch on KZbin and seeing them is a part of that. We will consider making cameos in the future... The swamps do look a little creepy. But they are kind of beautiful. This park is a great place to get away to nature in the middle of a bustling resort city. Thanks so much for watching our video about First Landing State Park!

[@SantosChronicles]

@@trvlnthru Maybe not necessarily vlog but at least a quick glimpse of you guys being there. Either way, love your content.

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Beautiful park and beach guys, lovely filming and great information shared!😎👍💕

[@trvlnthru]

We love visiting this park when we travel to Virginia Beach. The beach and the hiking trails are so beautiful. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@TravelingWithEmMe]

You know some fools have jumped that fence LOL!! All the hiking trails is great! That is right up our alley!

[@trvlnthru]

LOL. I would not be surprised at all to learn that people tried to jump that fence. I would imagine they regretted it soon after though. This is such a beautiful park - both on the beach side and on the other side with all the hiking trails. We love this place. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@JenniferandMark2014]

Disney+ star, Alexander Hamilton! Lol! That had me literally laughing out loud. Thank you! 🤣🤣🤣 Y’all have a good weekend! Jenn

[@trvlnthru]

LOL. My husband comes prepared with some witty remarks. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching our video about this park we love, Jenn!

[@scampslikeusva1958]

I love this video, thanks for sharing! Although I live in Virginia I have not been to First Landing State Park. It's now definitely on my to do list! I'm enjoying your other videos, I've subscribed since you'r given me such great ideas!

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

Very nice park. We haven't stayed at a Virginia SP yet. Thanks for giving us a location with such a great beach.

[@trvlnthru]

I think yall would love staying here. Parking your RV just steps away from the beach would be lovely. And those hiking trails through the woods are beautiful as well. Hope you get to see it one day as yall are traveling all over the place. Thanks so much for watching!

[@OpenRoad4Two]

Wow, didn’t know that this area receives that many visitors each year. The coastline is beautiful. That trail looks pretty cool and so different. Love your thumbnail photo, very eerie and beautiful!

[@trvlnthru]

Yeah, this is a very popular place with both locals and tourists. The beach area here is so calm and relaxing. But the views from that trail are so amazing. You are right. That thumbnail and a lot of other pictures we took are very eerie. Thanks for watching!

[@bfoz]

Beautiful place, thanks for sharing.

[@trvlnthru]

First Landing State Park really is a beautiful place. We love the calm beach and the hikes through forest trails. It is a great place to visit. Thanks for watching our video and for leaving a comment!

[@enroutewithchuckandcherie]

This is giving us some great beach vibes!!! That trail looks awesome and loved the history behind it!!!

[@trvlnthru]

We love this beach. It is so calm compared to the busyness of the main beach boardwalk area a few miles away. And that trail through the bald cypress grove was so cool to see. Thank you so much for watching our video of First Landing State Park. We are glad you enjoyed it!

[@AnnaTravels]

Lovely vlog! Looks like a lovely state park.

[@trvlnthru]

We love First Landing State Park. It really is a lovely area with lots to see. And a beach that is rarely crowded! Thanks so much for watching our vlog. We are glad you enjoyed it!

[@RubiaFamilyFOURever]

Beautiful place and beach

[@trvlnthru]

This park really is lovely. It is a wonderful place to enjoy the beach away from all the crowds of the Virginia Beach boardwalk. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@TakeATripTogether]

Thanks for the review of this quieter beach. And the camp sites look nice and private! We'll definitely check it out the next time we're down there. Such a beautiful area!

[@trvlnthru]

This really was a beautiful park. The calm beach is a lot less busy than the main tourist area along the boardwalk. And the camp sites and hiking trails were all first class. We highly recommend checking it out next time you are in the area. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@TakeATripTogether]

@@trvlnthru Sounds wonderful. Thanks! And you're very welcome. :)

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We can't wait to visit Virginia Beach someday! We love the beach! 🏖 First Landing State Park looks like a very nice place to visit! We enjoyed your tour of the park! 😎 ~ Shion and Matthew

[@trvlnthru]

We love the beach too. And Virginia Beach is such a lovely area! Hope you do get to see it in person. This park is beautiful! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Huskytrailsandtails]

Beautiful place. Looks like a nice primitive beach compared to what I expected for Virginia Beach. Too bad the lighthouses were closed while you were there. Loved that hiking trail. Spanish moss and Cyprus trees are beautiful. That looked alot like reelfoot lake with the stumps sticking out of the water. Very nice video.

[@trvlnthru]

Yeah, they do have a more public beach with a boardwalk and fishing pier and restaurants and attractions a couple miles away. But this park is where people go for a more primitive back-to-nature beach experience. We do love lighthouses so it would have been cool to see them again. But the beautiful hiking trails through the woods and even through the bald cypress swamps were so lovely. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind comment!

[@OhanaAdventures]

Liz and I love lighthouses!!! So many in Wisconsin... so beautiful! -Ali 🍷😍

[@trvlnthru]

We love lighthouses too. We always stop off to see them anytime we travel near one. So we were disappointed these were closed on our recnet visit. But thankfully we had seen them before - and they are open to tourists again so perhaps we will be able to visit again whenever we next visit Virginia Beach. Thanks so much for watching!

[@destinationdero]

Looks like a great park. Nice vlog

[@trvlnthru]

This really is such a fun park. We love visiting this area on our Virginia Beach vacations. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@HeatherTravels]

We really liked this area, and are hoping to go back for a longer stay in the future. The beach on the base (Fort Story) was great and a lot of the military families were enjoying it when we were there to see the lighthouses last week. We were not charged anything.

[@trvlnthru]

It is such a lovely area! That is strange that they didn’t charge you anything as we were last time we went to see the lighthouses - though that wasn’t recent - and we looked up the prices online when we made the video. But that is awesome. It is even better free. Did you climb up to the top of the old lighthouse? So glad y’all got to visit the area!

[@HeatherTravels]

Unfortunately, no. I cannot do all the stairs on my ankle. Walking was difficult enough. They were charging people to climb to the top.

[@trvlnthru]

That is right. I had forgotten about your ankle when I asked if you climbed it. Duh. Sorry. Well I am glad you were able to get to the area to see them in person.

[@JessandJakii]

Omgosh so the area around 5 minutes reminded me of going to Hell, Mexico with the rocks sticking out of the water! ♡ but way more serene and beautiful! This place is so incredible and I forwarded your video to our friend stationed at Fort Story :) I don't remember if I asked yet, but have you guys been to Jesse's (it's in VA Beach)??? Their smothered steak burrito is to die for!

[@trvlnthru]

We have not been to Jesse’s before though we have heard of it. We shall have to try it next time we are in town. This park really is so incredible and so serene. Thanks for forwarding our video! Hope your friend at Fort Story enjoys it too!

[@Brotatochip583]

thanks for showing this. I live right down the street from here and have yet to visit! :-)

[@trvlnthru]

You should go check this place out when you get a chance. There is a beautiful, calm beach and wonderful walks through the woods. We enjoyed our visit to this great state park! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Brotatochip583]

@@trvlnthru I definitely will! Especially since the weather is cooling off!

[@WalktheWorldWithME]

Thank you for sharing +1 see you soon my new friend 👏🏻🤝👏🏻 Have a nice day

[@trvlnthru]

We loved this park. The beach and even the hiking trails through the woods and the swamp were all so beautiful. It was great to spend a day getting back to nature. Thanks so much for watching!

[@ChefYasirRecipes]

Beautiful video 😍 greeting from 🇩🇪🙏

[@trvlnthru]

Thanks for watching our video about First Landing State Park! We are glad you enjoyed it!

[@FLACKFAM]

I would love this beach, small waves 🌊 please! Those lighthouses are beautiful! Would definitely stay in a cabin 😆! Why are they closing trails during COVID? It seems like outdoor activities would be the safest! Those trees are interesting! The bridges are really nice throughout!

[@trvlnthru]

This really is such a lovely park! Sorry for the confusion… the trails are open. The trail center is closed due to COVID. It is a building near the start of all the trails that has some educational exhibits as well as meeting facilities and some restrooms. So you can walk the trails, you just can’t access the building. The trees in the swamp area are fascinating to look at. And the less intense waves in this area of the beach are very relaxing. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@FLACKFAM]

@@trvlnthru Thanks for the clarification! I probably miss understood you.

[@HenriOlivier]

You have a new friend. Cheers!

[@trvlnthru]

Thank you friend for watching our tour of one of our favorite parks. Between the walks along the beach and the hikes through the woods, there is a lot to enjoy here. We really appreciate you watching!

[@Evie_Charming]

So...... amazinggg place.......

[@trvlnthru]

First Landing State Park is beautiful! We loved the beaches… and even the swamp area. Thanks so much for watching our video!

[@DutchTravellingCouple]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing this with us my friend 😀👍 We've been travelling through Namibia and Botswana for the past two months with almost no internet. So we weren't able to respond to your comments and reciprocate them. From now on we will start replying and commenting again my friend.

[@trvlnthru]

Namibia and Botswana? Sounds like y’all have had some pretty amazing adventures. I hope you have some videos coming out about war trips. Thanks for watching our video! We love this park!

[@NoBSEateries]

A yurt would be so fun to stay in! -S

[@trvlnthru]

It actually was a really fun adventure when we recently stayed in a yurt in a different park. I had mixed feeling because of the no-electricity-or-running-water thing. But we had such a fun weekend. This park at the beach was so beautiful. We want to stay there one day as well. Thank so much for watching and commenting!

[@WeretheRoberts]

best line is at 4:45 "This ain't that." lol

[@trvlnthru]

My husband has a way with words. It was a lovely park even though there was a hike through a swamp. Thanks for watching our video and for leaving a comment!

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

What a neat state park.

[@trvlnthru]

This state park was really cool. You can walk from the beach to a campground into hiking and biking trails along the swampy woods. We really enjoy visiting this area. Thanks for watching!

[@pinzei]

It has some very nice trails. There are some swampy sections so take a mosquito net and insect repellent.

[@ExploringWithBonnie13]

Lovely place love the beach. But sadly I'd look like a lobster if I went often lol I'm a ginger. Beautiful state park I love hiking.

[@trvlnthru]

I know the feeling! I am not a ginger but I am pretty pale and burn very easily. Lots of sunscreen used whenever we go to places like this! There are some really nice hiking trails at this park. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@comicsgrinder]

Fantastic video. I wonder if you've ever walked across the whole park? You may want to check out my hike on my channel.
