City of Virginia Beach

As the name suggests, this area's main attraction is the beach. But there's more to Virginia Beach: once you're done swimming and sunning, you can run off and play among the boardwalk bike paths and markets, galleries, shops and restaurants galore.

Beach side resorts = seafood on the menu, and the town's 3-mile-long boardwalk is home to plenty of restaurants and bars in which you can eat your fill of fishy treats. Need a drink? A bevy of interchangeable clubs and bars sits between 17th and 23rd Sts around Pacific and Atlantic Aves.


Getting around Virginia Beach calls for more traditional modes of transport. Bike riding and walking will get you to most places you need to go. A trolley service runs four different routes through the city; the best one for tourists runs along Atlantic Ave in summer.
