Your Guide To Seizing The Day.
Your guide to seizing the day.
Life’s rewarding experiences – do they just
happen, unplanned and unexpected?
Or do these moments only occur as a
plan comes together?
This Vacation Guide will help you make the most of your
time in Virginia Beach. You’ll find places to stay, what’s
cool to see, things you won’t want to miss doing, and
where to find it all. This is your handbook for creating
your best vacation. Use it along with the videos and
features you’ll find at www.vbfun.com.
Items listed throughout the guide are identified by a
color block, showing in which area of Virginia Beach
you’ll find a particular attraction or accommodation. The
color-coded map on page 5 shows the areas.
To help you find your way around when you’re here,
there is a pullout map page in the center of the guide.
More information is always available online at
www.vbfun.com, or by calling the Visitor Information
Center at 800-VA BEACH.

There’s something about this place.
A sparkle. An indigenous vibe.
You’ll feel it. Tugging on your 80-pound-test
line. Under your feet in First Landing State Park.
Biting into a sweet Pungo strawberry.
Is it the land that fosters a carefree, independent
spirit? Or is the source an ever-present ocean
and bay – stimulant, tranquilizer, multivitamin in
one? Explainable or not, beautiful things happen
here. Spontaneous things. A dolphin escort,
kayaking off bay beaches. Colors you never knew
were in the spectrum.
This is your chance. To stage a coup – of yourself.
Permission granted to do exactly what puts wind
in your sails. To dive in and Live the Life. And hold
on tight to what you live for.

Hotel or cottage? Atlantic Ocean or Chesapeake Bay? Peace and
quiet or right in the thick of it? Maybe somewhere in between?
Whatever it is you desire in a beach, our lovely stretch of Virginia
coast aims to please.

The place to see and be seen.
Our three-mile boardwalk is only part of what makes the Resort Area so
irresistible. From Croatan Beach to the south, up to the North End Beaches,
this is where Virginia Beach reveals its outgoing nature. There’s a park-like
atmosphere here that goes on for miles.
V
With a separate bike path, the boardwalk is
perfect for roller-blading, jogging or just strolling.
Sunbathers come for the wide sandy beaches.
Surfers come for the waves. Everyone comes
for the people-watching.

Some secrets are meant to be shared.
Kinder, gentler waves can be found in the calm waters of the Chesapeake Bay, just
off Shore Drive. From swimming to sand castles to volleyball, all the traditional
beach rituals are here. And nothing beats an evening stroll or dining at a fine restaurant as the sun sets over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Anglers can fish from
the shore, Lynnhaven Pier, or launch a boat and head out to the heart of the Bay.
Runners, bikers and campers can explore the lush green of First Landing State Park.
GETTING THERE: From the Resort Area head north on Atlantic Avenue until it turns
into Shore Drive. Continue west, through First Landing State Park to the Bay Area.

Coastal village charm in its natural state.
Located 15 miles south of (and 180º opposite) the Resort Area, Sandbridge is a
secluded beach hideaway of pristine sand dunes and dancing sea oats.
Beachside, the Atlantic never fails to entertain. And for those craving even more of the
great outdoors, the marshes and open waters of Back Bay National Wildlife
Refuge and False Cape State Park make for great kayaking, biking, hiking,
birding and fishing. Cottage and condominium rentals are available year-round.
GETTING THERE: From the Resort Area head south on Pacific Avenue
which turns into General Booth Boulevard, then left onto Princess Anne
Road. Continue straight onto Sandbridge Road.

There’s nothing like suddenly spotting a pod of dolphins glide
through the water, and knowing they see you too. Or a still and
silent grey heron, completely unimpressed by your presence in
his river. These are everyday experiences here, yours to discover.

species, including Atlantic Mackerel, Black Drum, Bluefish, Cobia, Croaker,
Flounder, Grey Trout, King Mackerel, Red Drum, Sea Bass, Spanish Mackerel, Speckled Trout, Striped Bass and Tautog.

Where the waters of the Atlantic Ocean meet the Chesapeake Bay, you
can count on the freshest catch – tuna, rockfish, mahi, crab, you name it.
In fact, freshness is a guiding principle in Virginia Beach kitchens, where
just-picked produce fuses with just-caught seafood for surprising and
palate-pleasing results. Here, the casual beach resort lifestyle you enjoy
has a place at the table – and you won’t pay an arm and a leg for the East
Coast’s best cuisine.
Imagine fresh tuna, pan seared and topped with an ancho pepper,
sundried tomato, and shiitake mushroom salsa. Or clams baked with herbs,
peppers, onions and bacon. Pan-fried lump crab cake served with sweet bell
pepper relish and lemon crème fraîche. Oysters topped with shrimp, bacon,
leeks, lemon and a touch of Tabasco®. Is your mouth watering?
Whether you crave exotic flavors, the simple beauty of fresh ingredients,
or a truly new twist on traditional favorites, Virginia Beach restaurants
promise atmosphere and taste-tempting pleasure.

True romance. Think you’d be a true romantic if only the Atlantic Ocean
could provide a beautiful sunset to go with your dinner? No worries, head
to the Chesapeake Bay Area and watch the big red ball sink into the water.
Farm-grown sweetness. Fresh produce stands will keep you eating
healthy, even on vacation. Try Pungo strawberries and locally-grown
tomatoes, or visit one of our local Farmers Markets.
Coffee at sunrise. For the cottage set, the day begins with your favorite
brew and a spectacular sunrise, and culminates with a true beach feast –
steamed crabs and shrimp from a local market, enjoyed atop newspapers
on a picnic table.
Fresh catch, provided by you. Local restaurants like Waterman’s, Croc’s
and Dockside will prepare your catch in a variety of ways.
Breakfast hideaways. Rise early and find your way to one of several unique
local breakfast haunts. Settle in for a crab omelet, or a stack of pancakes
with local strawberries on the side. Fish tales from the resident “old salts”
are free of charge.
Dine and learn. Become a smarter gourmet with a cooking demo or wine
pairing features at area restaurants like Croc’s and Swan Terrace at the
Founders Inn.
Create your own progressive dinner. Sample the resort area. Rent a beach
cruiser, hop off at different spots for appetizers, a main course, and dessert.
Here’s hoping you burn as many calories as you take in.
Virginia Beach cuisine is marked by fresh ingredients,
with flavors coming together in unexpected and
perfectly seasoned ways. Yet, there’s an art to creating
the ideal dining experience that doesn’t happen in a kitchen.
Here are some suggestions.
