For the bicyclist, there's the Back Bay Refuge at 4005 Sandpiper Road.
Back Bay Refuge contains over 8,000 acres. Habitats include beach, dunes, woodland, farm fields, and marsh. The majority of refuge marshlands are on islands contained within the waters of Back Bay. Approximately 10,000 snow geese and a large variety of ducks visit Back Bay Refuge during the peak of fall migration, usually in December. The refuge also provides habitat for a wide assortment of other wildlife, including threatened and endangered species such as loggerhead sea turtles, piping plovers, peregrine falcons, and bald eagles. Back Bay provides scenic trails, a visitor contact station, and, with advance scheduling, group educational opportunities. Fishing, hunting, bicycling and hiking are available. The Back Bay Refuge is located near Virginia Beach - south of Sandbridge at the southern end of Sandpiper Road.
If you'd like to try horseback riding but don't have much - or any - experience, check out the Easy Does It Riding Academy, at 3581 Muddy Creek Road. They offer summer camps and ranch tours.
Of course, the Beach is the main attraction at Virginia Beach. There is surfing, several locations that offer parasailing, and swimming.
