Trip to Grandview Beach

​​

Sunday, February 8, 2026

Start: 8:30 AM

​

This weekend we have our February club field trip to Grandview Nature Preserve in Hampton. This was originally scheduled for Saturday, February 7th. We will be under a Gale Warning for Saturday with sustained winds 25- 30kts gusting to 45kts. This will make holding a field trip on Saturday out there completely untenable.

 

I am moving the field trip to Sunday February 8th with a new start time of 8:30am. This will hopefully allow winds to dissipate some while still making the most of the 7:45am low tide.

 

Parking is along the right side of the road facing towards the entrance gate at: 71 State Park Dr, Hampton, VA 23664. It will still be very cold and breezy with conditions on the beach much more intense than in the parking lot. We will not be making an attempt to reach Factory Point.

 

Sincerely,

James Abbott
