The Nature Conservancy, Virginia Coast Reserve This coastal wilderness features beaches, forests, maritime vegetation and salt marshes. Barrier islands, thin strips of land running parallel to the coastline along much of the Atlantic shore, comprise a large part of the coastal habitat. The Conservancy owns all or part of 14 of the 18 Virginia barrier islands. Lying at the intersection of diverse habitats, these islands both support a rich array of life and help buffer Virginia's Eastern Shore against storms. Check out that Eastern Shore page for a great map and some beautiful photos.
