Looks like I'll be in Williamsburg, VA for a few days in mid-July. I would like to spend a day looking for shark teeth in either Westmoreland State Park, York River State Park, or somewhere similar. Any tips/thoughts/suggestions out there? Feel free to reply or PM.

Each state park has its own particular rules. The most productive part of Westmoreland is now off-limits due to people acting badly. You could still get lucky, though.
Stratford Hall, the property next door, is a nice historic site with access to beach that can be quite productive. I have found some nice Snaggleteeth there. There is a grounds fee for Stratford Hall which I think is $8? Also gives access to the rest of the grounds, which are very nice, trails, etc. and I think the visitor center If you want to visit the historic home, it costs more. They have events all year, some of which are special tours with a paleontologist. Check the Stratford Hall website.

I don't know if you'd be willing to drive the extra hour and a half, but Calvert Cliffs in Maryland is a good place to fossil hunt. I lived nearby for a few years and went there regularly as a kid.

I went to Westmoreland in April this year and found a whale vertebrae, and several shell fragments... no shark teeth for me but other ppl nearby found some(not Meg teeth though). It seems like a really nice park with a nice trail leading down to the beach area. Calvert cliffs in MD like einholt suggested I heard is a good spot (next time out that way I'm going there).
