Location

Virginia Beach, Virginia

Virginia Beach, Virginia provides the perfect balance of coastal charm with a three-beach experience and a vibrant downtown. At the Resort Beach, from First to 40th Streets, visitors can enjoy a stroll along the iconic three-mile oceanfront boardwalk, a fishing pier and plenty of opportunities for biking, boating, kayaking, jet-skiing, parasailing and stand-up paddle boarding. King Neptune, a 34-foot tall cast bronze statue of the mythological sea god, is a must-stop spot for a selfie at 31st Street and Atlantic Avenue. Visitors seeking a more relaxed day at the beach will enjoy Chesapeake Bay Beach, which is preferred for its tranquility along the scenic Chesapeake Bay. The area is home to a marina, as well as multiple dockside seafood restaurants and incredible sunset views over the Lynnhaven Inlet. Sandbridge Beach on Virginia Beach’s southern shore is just 20 minutes away from the main resort area and provides a more secluded, island-like environment. When it’s time to grab a bite to eat, enjoy Virginia Beach’s coastal cuisine, a rich culinary style of fresh seafood from the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay, mixed with organic produce harvested by local farms, making it easy for the city’s nearly 300 restaurants, many locally owned and operated, to serve only the freshest ingredients. Local restaurants also celebrate a diverse range of cultures, offering a myriad of choices for every palate. From the urban appeal of Town Center, to the personal attraction of local boutiques and shopping centers, there’s a lot of ground to cover and even more deals to be found.
