Virginia Beach is in the southeastern part of the state (I lived there for 7 years)
It is located in a State Park within a Federal Park. The easiest time to access it is during the summer, as there is a tram (there is a fee) that will take you as far as the ranger station about 2 miles from the remains of Wash Woods.  The rest of the way you will have to walk, you CANNOT bike from the ranger station on, as it is all sand.  It is an awesome place to visit, was there in 2004.
