False Cape and Wash Woods
from Tidewater Talk Hosted by Co and Brodie
In this solo episode of Tidewater Talk, I share a heartfelt neighborhood moment and a slice of Tidewater history. I start with a big shoutout to a local caregiver who went above and beyond for our son, a reminder of the kindness that makes Coastal Virginia feel like home. Then we journey to the edge of Virginia Beach for this week’s Strange and Odd: the haunting story of Wash Woods, a long-vanished community in False Cape State Park built from shipwrecked lumber, weathered by hurricanes, and slowly reclaimed by dunes and time. We wrap with a quick weather outlook. I also spotlight a weekend pick: Victory Fair in Norfolk. Thanks for spending part of your day with me, neighbors, stay safe, stay curious, and stay Tidewater.
