Heading to VA Beach for a week. I am looking for suggestions for wildlife, flora, or landscape photography. I have done the beach and surfers and will be doing them again, but looking for other "don't miss" opportunities within 20 miles or so.

It's a bit further than 20 miles (about 30), but the Great Dismal Swamp Canal Trail may be worth the trip.

Not sure when you're visiting VB, but there is a free air show at NAS Oceana this weekend. No Blue Angels this year, they're getting the Thunderbirds. Also, for a quick side trip, there's also the Adam Thoroughgood house, quaint little cottage built 16-1700's.

I agree, Back Bay would be a good place. Just beware of the Cottonmouths!

If you're ever there around Christmas, they have a great light show on the beach. You drive along the display in your car.

Check out Eric Moore at: https://www.mooreandmorephotos.com/home
He will take you places via boat, for some great photography (and history).

Thanks for reminding me. The preservation construction was supposed to over last spring and appears that it is.

Back Bay Wildlife, Norfolk Botanical, and the Lesner Bridge are going on my list.
I will be there this weekend and appreciate the heads-up about the air show.
Thanks to everyone who responded.
