The signs you see along the beach are a reminder that the habitats along Virginia’s seaside are important bird nesting areas . Nests, eggs, and chicks blend into the surrounding habitats very well and can be extremely hard to see. For the protection of the birds and their nests, all areas above the high tide line are closed during the breeding season (April – August), including some areas without signs posted.
