![]() ![]() I’m not in good shape so I’m sure that’s part of it, but keep that in mind travel time when going here. The gravel made the biking significantly harder. It took about an hour and a half to get from False Cape Landing back to Back Bay. The total trip I think was about 14 miles entirely on gravel. I’m sure I would’ve been able to find some nice seashells if I had walked along the beach but we chose not to. We had the entire beach to ourselves! It was beautiful and the water was nice. There are restrooms and campsites along the trail to the beach. The beach was about 0.7 miles from the main trail. Be careful there because we found a black widow! It was very underwhelming after I waited 4 years to see it, but it was still a nice place to visit and learn about. I love the seashells in front of the graves. This is a great thing, but at the same time it is now very hard to see because of the glare on the glass. The old church steeple is now enclosed within a little building I’m assuming to help preserve it. It’s about 3-4 miles on gravel to the community from the entrance of False Cape. ![]() Within False Cape is the old abandoned community of Wash Woods. We happened to go to the Visitor’s Center when they were doing a fundraiser where they were handing out free hot dogs, watermelon, brownies, and drinks which really hit the spot! The visitor’s center also has a bunch of information about the park, maps, and sites to see, nice clean restrooms, and a place to refill water bottles (although to be honest the water tasted a bit strange). An additional 1.2 miles to the visitor’s center. It’s about 3.3 miles on gravel to the park from Back Bay. Great trip!įirst thing to know about this park is you cannot get to it except by foot, bike, or horseback. A mountain bike would be useful as the trails/service road has varying degrees of graves, potholes, and puddles. They had lots of recommendations and were very welcoming and engaging. So much undeveloped coastline! Also, the greeter and ranger at the VC were a-maz-ing. ![]() It's the lookouts and end points that are the reason for visiting. Again, the road isn't exciting, but there a few beautiful groves of live oaks. Once in False Cape, there's a lot of beautiful speckled shade on the trails that are mostly under pines and live oaks. You might get lucky with animal sitting - I saw a deer grazing, a turtle crossing the road, and a raccoon wandering about. And then you have to walk back! A nice glimpse of Back Bay along the way, but it's in full sun with often a stuff breeze. You can walk, but it's a long, unremarkable gravel road. And another mile to the sandy Atlantic beach.
