Savage Neck Dunes Natural Area Preserve, Protected coastal area in Northampton County, Virginia, United States.
The 298-acre preserve features 50-foot-tall sand dunes along a mile of Chesapeake Bay shoreline with maritime forests and a freshwater pond.
Thomas Savage, a teenage interpreter who arrived in Virginia in 1608, received 9,000 acres of land from Debedeavon of the Accomac people.
The preserve maintains three marked trails with educational signs that inform visitors about the local ecosystem and natural heritage.
The parking area accommodates eight vehicles, and visitors should check tide charts as beach access depends on water levels.
The preserve protects the largest population of northeastern beach tiger beetles, which hunt during the day and rest under sand at night.
