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 V
­ irginia
Beach reveals its outgoing nature. There’s a park-like
atmosphere here that goes on for miles.
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 c
­ astles 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.
