False Cape State Park, State park in Virginia Beach, United States.

False Cape State Park extends over six miles of undeveloped beaches between Back Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, featuring diverse ecosystems including dunes and maritime forest.

The Wash Woods community established itself in this area during the 1800s after numerous shipwrecks occurred along the deceptive coastline near Cape Henry.

The park maintains an environmental education center in a former hunting lodge, offering programs about local ecology and natural preservation to visiting groups.

Access to the park requires hiking through Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, taking a tram service from April to October, or arriving by boat.

The park serves as a sanctuary for over 300 species of birds, including a winter population of 10,000 snow geese that return each year.
