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.

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.
