The best time to go to Fort Story, Virginia, is during the shoulder seasons of late spring (May to early June) and early fall (September to October).
These periods offer pleasant weather, with comfortable temperatures that are ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the beaches, visiting the Cape Henry Lighthouse, or walking along the Chesapeake Bay. You'll avoid the peak summer crowds and the higher humidity, making for a more relaxed experience.
For travelers who enjoy water activities and don't mind warmer temperatures, the summer months of July and August are also suitable. The ocean is warmest then, superb for swimming and various water sports.
