Local history

The Lynnhaven oyster

Approximate

A real place or fact confirmed via an official source, but a specific detail (often exact coordinates) is an estimate, not something that source states outright.

Corrected in the Phase Next verification pass: the previously-implied Lynnhaven Inlet fishing pier closed permanently in 2017 and was sold — this record now points at the real, current public access point, the city's Lynnhaven Boat Ramp & Beach Facility (3576 Piedmont Circle), confirmed via the official Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation page (hours, fees, boat-ramp/kayak-launch/beach access). That page does not specifically describe bank/shore fishing, only boat-ramp and beach access — bank fishing along the beach and riprap is plausible but not itself source-confirmed. Exact coordinates remain this project's own estimate for the general inlet/facility area, not a source-stated pin. Species/season notes are general regional knowledge, not from this source.
