Michaels Woods straddles the central Virginia Peninsula in southeastern Virginia, where the tidal James River and Chesapeake Bay have shaped the wider Hampton Roads region. The locality belongs to the urban area around Newport News, a port city on the James River whose waterfront has long supported shipbuilding and maritime commerce. Newport News is also home to The Mariners’ Museum and Park, including the USS Monitor Center, devoted to the Civil War ironclad Monitor. Residential districts and wooded parks share this low-lying coastal plain. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Virginia Peninsula and Hampton Roads.
