Where the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay meet, the coastal city of Virginia Beach promises visitors a unique chance to “Live the Life.” With pristine natural wonders, freshly caught seafood, freshly picked local ingredients and a vibrant downtown and arts district, Virginia Beach consistently ranks among the country’s best beach destinations. Explore our districts and get a taste of what your vacation memories will be like.
With “Beach” in our name, long, warm days spent soaking in the sun and surf between Memorial Day and Labor Day might be the first thing that comes to mind when planning a trip to our seaside city. While our pristine beaches and abundant natural waterways make us an ideal summer destination, the fun doesn’t stop when the days grow shorter. In fact, it is in the cooler months that much of our coastal culture truly comes alive. With year-round mild temperatures, ample winter wildlife adventures, seasonal coastal cuisine and a decidedly more “local” vibe, you can live the life in Virginia Beach year-round.
Sunscreen, sunglasses and sunbathing — are you picking up on a trend here? The sun is out and that means summer vacation season is in full swing. Grab a friend or the whole family and claim your spot on the sand. There’s plenty of beach to choose from and even more chances to live the life with us in Virginia Beach all summer long. Make this the summer of you! See you on the sand.
Fall is our favorite season to get outside and explore. From our beautiful parks, trails and waterways to the delicious, fresh seafood and unmatched fall festivals, it is the season to unleash your inner child and dive into the leaf pile. The craft beer, fresh produce from local farms and ridiculously beautiful ocean sunrises don’t hurt either.
‘Tis the season to trade your snow shovel for a Virginia Beach vacation and fill your days with slurping down fresh oysters plucked straight from the water beneath you, riding horses on the beach and paying a visit to our largest annual guests — humpback whales! When you have a whole coastal city at your fingertips, a winter getaway to the beach is the gift that keeps on giving.
As the days grow longer, that can only mean one thing: Spring is in the ocean air. Vacation season is in full bloom in Virginia Beach, bringing with it plenty of new adventures, like fresh, local produce to be picked, miles of pristine coastline to be explored and dolphin-filled waterways to kayak. We hope you packed your appetite for new adventures because spring has sprung.
