Reviews
"It is beautiful here, but there is zero beach or trail access here if you don't have a boat. You essentially are visiting a dock to see the lighthouse from far away. I wish more land would open up for everyone to enjoy this remarkably beautiful part of the bay."
"Very cool to see the light house. Wish there were more beach area"
"The Observation Walkway is a very nice visit on Mobjack Bay in Matthews County, VA. The times I've visited it has been quiet and a nice place for some solitude from the rush of everyday life. Looking out over the bay you see New Point Comfort Lighthouse in the distance. Several different species of birds and wildlife can be seen in their natural habitat here as well. The pier offers spectacular sunrise & sunset views."
"Beautiful place.. Glad there was a trash can, but it badly needs emptying to help keep it looking beautiful."
"The Google direction's had us headed down some private property but if you pay attention to the signs you can find the pier easily enough. Beautiful views!!!"
