Fort Monroe Material Management Branch Review

One of the hidden gems of Hampton, Virginia. Beautiful just to drive around, but also an awesome place to explore on foot- great history and scenery. The kayak launch in mill creek is awesome, outlook beach and the walk along the breakers are peaceful, and it s fun to watch the ships come into port.

Nice beach, nice boardwalk, fun place to walk, run, and ride a bike.

Easy to get to. Water is usually calmer than Virginia Beach oceanfront. Lifegaurds are not present.

Quirky place with walking area and beaches. Nice location for RV'ing!

It's beautiful! A seawall to walk along, a cove for swimming, a fishing pier, a gazebo, history!!

Love this place! I shouldn't be telling you that, because I dont want crowds there, but it's an unspoiled and beautiful place!

A great place to walk around and learn about history.

PERFECT PLACE FOR PICNICS, BEACH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION ALSO WEDDING AND WALKING YOUR DOG.

Nice place to walk your dog. Good bay views and interesting history.

The museum is closed because of COVID but there are free maps with information at the information sign to the left of the museum entrance. Great place to walk around and dog friendly. You can drive right into the old Fort, or park outside and walk in. Be sure to stop by the Firehouse cafe for breakfast or lunch.

Nice beach and historic area for picnics walking and running

A unique historical site! It's not every day you see a pre-approval civil war for with a moat. There's also a great view from stop the wall, a historic light house, and a museum.

Historical. We blasted the British. Then Jefferson was held here as a prisoner after the rebels lost. Lmao.

Picturesque, quiet, and a great local brewery on the island. Definitely check out the casements for a sunset walk, and grab a pint at Oozlefinch. Usualy a pretty good food truck there too!

So interesting go inside fort walls and museum in the wall

This is a little peice of heaven. Truly enjoyed the scenery the privacy and the history.

This place is chock full of history and the beach is a real gem. Wonderful to actively explore or just kick back and watch the dolphins play in the surf. Several Osprey in the area as well

Interesting, loved all the pictures and details about each area that were placed

An enjoyable park with beautiful houses, historic structures, and a fascinating pet cemetery. Unfortunately, the museum's/buildings do not stay open as long as the park in general so I want able to judge the"internals."

Forr Monroe is great, the walking path is wonderful but the business that occupies the old O'club is terrible. I was out there walking on the weekend and tried to find a place for my wife and friends to have a bite and relax near the water. I spoke with someone who appeared to be the manager- he was terrible. No customer service whatsoever. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Go to the Point in Phoebus, they'll treat you right with great food.

Dolphins and carriers. What an amazing place to walk.

Went here as part of a staff ride. Spent the entire day seeing the sights and learning the strategic importance of the Fort Monroe. Highly recommend having tour guide and the staff was very knowledgeable.

I was there for the Music by the Bay concert series held every Thursday night at the bandstand by the Chamberlain Hotel.

I have not been in the fort proper but have been told it's a great walking tour.

I have been to the beach on the property. It was clean and peaceful in early May when we took a dog out there before the summer dog restriction.

If you are a history buff this place is amazing so much to see and experience!

We went to the marker that commerorates the arrival of the first Africans in English North America. I experienced being where my ancestors first came in 1619.

Always fun to go to Ft Monroe. There are plenty of historical sites, fishing areas, and even pokestops ;)

Love this place. Great place to bring the family either to walk around the Fort or a beach day

Nice spot to go to relax. Cool beach to explore and many old buildings to see. A lot of history here, I like to come and drive around.

Beautiful historical place. Walking trail along the water.

Naturally beautiful environment. Clean, quiet. Great place to walk.

The history here is well presented. They don't gloss over the slave history. The walking tour is well laid out. Enjoyed it.

Museum wasn't open due to covid but was able to see slot of fascinating history. Will return when museum is open

Spacious, clean, secure, on the Chesapeake Bay, Historic

W that we have spent the night at the cinema cinema with tytttt

Historic and nice beaches that are not overcrowded

Full of history and signs to tell you about it. It's usually where I go to swim in Hampton

Great people good service...very enjoyable experience

Not that much to see but worth a visit if you are at the beach

Really awesome place to walk around and visit. Lots of historical sites and great views.

Fort Monroe is a beautiful place to gaze at the Bay and watch the boats float by.

Great beach fun and quiet. Probably common sense but fair warning don't walk on grass barefoot hitchhikers like crazy.

Very educational and intresting place to visit.
The beaches are A+

Very interesting destination, we wanted to look inside the casemate museum but it was closed on Tuesdays, not sure if that's the case all the time or just because of Covid-19.

Lovely place could live here.Such a historical place to see. Hope to bring my grandchildren back when they are older. To me takes longer than 90 minutes to see everything need aleast 3 hours or more to enjoy at a relaxing pace.

Picture the history. Its crazy to be walking through it. Beautiful and so interestinf to imagine the goings on here.

Beautiful former military fort surrounded by greenery and full of monumental houses and buildings from the 19th and 20th centuries. The central core is enclosed by walls surrounded by a moat and is accessed through one of the 3 bridges. Inside, in addition to the historic houses, there is a museum, an observation point and the possibility of walking, running or simply lying on the grass and enjoying the tranquility of the place.

Excellent atmosphere and a great place to spend family time

Walk the stairs between the museum and cistern to see the cannon fields of fire to the beach and water...
See the pet cemetery and stand on the grassy mounds for a clear view

Such a amazing place with so much history. City within a city. You could walk for hours and find something new each and every time you visit here. I highly suggest reading up a pond the civil war and the war of 1812.

This is a very nice place to spend the afternoon and you get a history lesson! The self guided museum had a lot of content and was a perfect place to warm up on a cold January afternoon. The walk on top of the perimeter wall had a way of taking you back over 200 years. I'm definitely coming back when the family visits.

Great American historic site. You can spend an entire day here. Great place for wedding photos.

This place has special meaning for me as I was stationed there in the early 90s. Glad to see they are keeping it up and maintaining it. The Casemate Museum is a must see.

Very cool place to visit. Family friendly and wide open spaces, awesome history and beautiful beaches
