One Vacation. Three distinct beach experiences, pristine natural wonders, a vibrant downtown district, fresh coastal cuisine and a variety of year-round festivals. This is the life, which is why it’s not surprising that Virginia Beach has been consistently ranked among the country’s best beach destinations. From the Atlantic Ocean to the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia Beach offers a coastal vacation that’s nothing short of extraordinary. VIRGINIA BEACH THE RESORT AREA You’ll have a lively time at Virginia Beach’s oceanfront Resort Area, with the famous three-mile boardwalk right out your door and wide, sandy shoreline just steps away. The beach life buzzes with activity here, with numerous hotel options and restaurants to choose from, free entertainment throughout the summer and King Neptune presiding over it all. The Resort Area is an ideal choice for all types of beach lovers – from families looking to stay in the middle of a wide range of activities, to couples who love inding dining and nightlife a short walk from their hotel, to friends getting together for non-stop fun. Visitors of all ages are right at home here, with easy access to the beach making this high-energy atmosphere a vacation favorite. 3 VIRGINIA BEACH SANDBRIDGE BEACH If your vacation goals include getting away from it all for rest and relaxation, Sandbridge Beach is the perfect choice. Just 15 miles south of the Resort Area, the faraway feeling and secluded shores of this Virginia Beach hideaway give you the chance to slow down and unwind in a vacation rental home or oceanfront condo at your own pace. Privacy and peaceful hours are yours in Sandbridge, along with plenty of seaside activities to entertain the whole family, such as suring or ishing. Home to Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park, this nature-lover's paradise offers great kayaking, hiking, and long walks on the beach contemplating how you might stay a little longer. 5 VIRGINIA BEACH CHESAPEAKE BAY BEACH Quiet shores and local lavor make Chesapeake Bay Beach the ultimate choice for a laid-back vacation. Where the waves are gentle and the sun sets brilliantly over the Bay, the mood is chill and the vibe is Virginia Beach friendly. Whether on the beach or over a crab feast at a favorite marina restaurant, you’ll want to linger and enjoy the company. Once you pull yourself away from your beach chair, there’s plenty to explore, from the Cape Henry Lighthouses to the trails and streams of First Landing State Park. The irst English-speaking settlers to reach the continent stopped right here for a short time on their way to Jamestown in 1607 – you won’t want to leave. 7 VIRGINIA BEACH TOWN CENTER The perfect uptown complement to our three shoreline destinations, Virginia Beach Town Center is just a 10-minute drive from the oceanfront. Always festive and lively, Town Center is a multiblock hub of diverse cosmopolitan pursuits, including dozens of restaurants, breweries and wine bars, a sparkling fountain in a park-like setting, upscale shopping and entertainment venues. Elevate your stay with a high-rise hotel view in the heart of the action and enjoy the big city vibe of ine dining and stage performances of every kind. 9 10 VIRGINIA BEACH RECREATION, SPORTS & WELLNESS RECREATION, SPORTS & WELLNESS See map on page 72 for more details.
