"Hidden gem! I visited Newport News and decided to check out the beach. It was an amazing experience! There are great restaurants and shops nearby. The beach was lovely, the water was clear, and I even spotted a few jellyfish. Plus, bike rentals and parking are free! I will definitely be coming back!"

There are small shops and a few restaurants within walking distance. They have a bike repair station and a water fountain with bowls for pets. The bathrooms near the beach are always clean, which is a bonus for us. They also have..."
