First, both lighthouses and all of the monuments are located on an Active Duty military base so be prepared to gain access with photo ID, vehicle registration and insurance.
Beautiful location, especially with both lighthouses. The monument (Cape Henry Memorial Cross) to the first English settlers landing on these dunes in 1607 before moving inland to Jamestown is located here. The first settlers erected a wooden cross and gave thanks for a successful crossing to a new land. The granite cross erected in 1935 by the National Society Daughters of the American Colonists, in memory of the original wooden cross.
In the same park are two other monuments. The first is a visual representation of the Battle of the Capes etched into granite. This battle was epic in that the French naval victory under French Admiral Comte deGrasse over British Admiral Graves directly enables US General Washington's victory over British General Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781 and hence American Independence. The second monument is to French Admiral Comte deGrasse himself.

The refuge was established June 6, 1938 as a crucial link along the Atlantic flyway, the migration route that takes birds from Summer breeding grounds in the North to Winter feeding grounds & rest.
Educational programming is offered by park rangers. Best time to visit is late Fall/Winter when viewing birds. The trails are flat and easy to navigate. Make sure you bring your camera and if you're into birdwatching a spotting scope because there's always something to see or take a photo of.
