Virginia Beach

With only one tank of gas, it's time to escape to Virginia Beach to live the Beach life! Grab a surfboard, swim through the mighty waves, kayak with dolphins, embark on a sport fishing adventure - or perhaps just lay on the sun-drenched beach all day long? What a life.
Throughout the year, Virginia Beach pulsates with cultural celebrations, live music performances and diverse festivals, bringing the sights, sounds and flavors of the world to the oceanfront
The shoreline is just the edge of Virginia Beach's breathtaking landscape. Explore the untamed beauty of First Landing State Park and Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge with canoes, bikes, kayaks or an exhilarating hike. For a thrilling ocean adventure, try surfing with former professional champions who are passing on their love of the ocean during the Quicksilver and Billabong Surf camps. Each summer, bottlenose dolphins migrate off the coast of Virginia Beach. For a unique interaction with majestic wildlife, enjoy a dolphin watching cruise or a guided dolphin-watching kayak trip. Boasting over 700,000 gallons of aquariums, the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center also is a must see. Meet harbor seals, river otters, sea turtles, sharks, and more.
