According to popular legend, survivors of a shipwreck in the 16th or early 17th century built a small Unincorporated Town using Cypress wood that washed ashore from Shipwreck s, and named it Wash Woods . However, the severe weather conditions took a toll on the tiny town. By the 1920s the sea had inundated the narrow sliver of sand so often that townspeople were eventually forced to abandon the place. Wash Woods is now considered one of the many Lost Towns Of Virginia . In modern times, the False Cape is located in False Cape State Park , adjacent to the federal Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge in a remote portion of the city of Virginia Beach, Virginia . |
