First Landing State Park is a natural oasis in the midst of urban development. It is the perfect setting for a beach or maritime forest wedding, reception and rehearsal dinner.

Per car parking fees apply, but the fees can be prepaid or paid through invoice. A special-use permit application and $25 application fee are required. Specific dates cannot be guaranteed until the application is approved by park management and a deposit is paid.
