Virginia
Beach
Come see a place that
welcomed the first permanent English settlers to arrive in America (our first tourists,
you might say.) A place that has grown with the times. A place that's familiar and
surprising at the same time. Come see Virginia Beach.
Experience the Atlantic itself, sailing, surfing, swimming, fishing and diving. Or try it
in the Chesapeake Bay. Wiggle your toes in 35 miles of clean sand, spike a volleyball or
simply lay back on your towel and watch the dolphins. Snooze in one of our 11,000 rooms
(5,000 on the oceanfront), stroll the famous boardwalk with its fabulous new facelift,
take a spin on the carousel, eat a blue crab dripping with butter or listen to a band at
the oceanfront, the sound of the waves keeping time in the background. Take a bike or a
hike over a marshland with knobby cypress knees or through a forest of water oaks draped
with lacy Spanish moss. See the sun set over the water (isn't this the East Coast?), surf
the wind, chase sandpipers and watch soaring bald eagles. Go further inland and golf,
shop, canoe, pick strawberries, explore a museum, and fly a kite.
Hey, it's as old as the shifting dunes and as new as the salt water taffy made this
morning. It's Virginia Beach. Come see it for the first time. Again.
Centrally located on the U.S. East
Coast, Virginia Beach is situated in the southeastern corner, where the state of Virginia
meets the sea. This popular resort city is just three and a half hours south of
Washington, D.C., and within a short driving distance to most U.S. cities, making it the
perfect vacation destination for one-third of the U.S. population.
Climate
Virginia Beach's mild climate encourages a long visitor season, and travelers are
delighted to discover that spring comes early and fall stays late. These months are ideal
for visitors who like vacationing when the pace is more relaxed. Summer is the traditional
vacation season. And with events such as Holiday Lights at the Beach display, people are
discovering Virginia Beach is a unique winter getaway as well.
