Munden Point Park

Swimming is the draw at Munden Point Park, where dogs get water access and a designated swimming area on top of the usual run-and-fetch space. The setup at 2413 London Bridge Rd includes an off-leash area, an open field, a dog-friendly trail, and shaded seating for the humans, with free parking and no entry fee. One important caveat: the off-leash area is unfenced, so this is a spot for dogs with reliable recall rather than flight risks. Hours run on an unusual schedule — closed Mondays, afternoons into the evening Tuesday through Friday, and longer weekend hours starting at 11 a.m. — so check before driving out. Few Virginia Beach options combine trail, field, and swim access in a single free stop.
