Kiptopeke 州立公园是我家夏季每年必游的地方。公园位于Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel 的北端。距离华盛顿地区大约3个小时的驾程。哪里有很不错的海滩泳区，宽敞的钓鱼平台，可以捕蟹。蟹的数量很多，可以说是信手拈来。让人十分过瘾。

去年儿子网了30多个，今年用线钓了20 多了。新鲜的蟹马上在营地清蒸，味道好极了！

我家有野营的传统爱好。州立公园的营地还是很标准的，比较清静，还有热水浴。

请看公园提供的照片吧，只是没有日落的美景！

Kiptopeke is three miles from the northern terminus of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, which has a substantial each-way toll charge, on Route 13. Turn west on Route 704; the park entrance is within a half mile.

The park has an area for swimming Memorial Day to Labor Day。The concrete ships located off the park’s waterfront offer some of Virginia’s finest fishing. For the land-lover, a large fishing pier with picnic tables and lights to attract fish is available. No fishing licence is required from the pier, but a valid Virginia saltwater fishing licence is required for fishing from the shore. Pier fees apply (adults, $3/day; children, $1/day; adult coupon book, $20). The southern beach is great for surf fishing and beachcombing。

Drive Time : (Bay Bridge Tunnel Traffic may extend time) Northern Virginia, four hours; Tidewater/Norfolk/Virginia Beach, 45 minutes; Richmond, two hours; Roanoke, five hours
