Virginia Beach

What you need to know before you go

    Virginia Beach benefits from a stellar position on beautiful Chesapeake Bay, where the waves roll in from the Atlantic and miles of golden sand stretch out. Along Beach Street USA, skateboarders pull tricks and magicians amaze. If you want to be in the thick of the energy and excitement, hit the rides and amusement arcades on the Boardwalk.

    For a more relaxed seaside experience, Chesapeake Bay Beach is the place to be. You can dine on succulent seafood in seafront restaurants. Close by, First Landing State Park invites gentle rambles among the cypress trees and lagoons.
