Just a few minutes outside of the windswept dunes of Sandbridge sit 23,000 acres of farmland known to locals as Pungo. A drive through this expansive agricultural community delivers a rural serenity and countryside charm that feels worlds away from the bustle of the Oceanfront. Stop along your journey at any one of the area’s roadside stands or, for a truly Pungo experience, pick your own bushel of fresh berries, produce or even a bouquet of wildflowers.
Unique Experiences in Pungo
One of our favorite activities in Virginia Beach is to head down to Pungo and spend some time exploring the rural farming community. As if the expansive agricultural landscape just a few miles from the beach isn’t surprising enough, just wait until you get there. Here are a few of our favorite ways to spend a day in Pungo that are far from just an average day on the farm.
BLUE PETE’S DINNER KAYAK TOUR
Take a dinner kayaking cruise to Blue Pete’s for some delicious fresh seafood. At sunset, you’ll float through Back Bay Wildlife Refuge, watching for wildlife along the way.
PICK YOUR OWN PRODUCE
Go picking in Pungo for the season’s bounty at one of the area’s many pick-your-own farms.
CORDUROY
Stop by Corduroy, which offers a place to relax with good food, excellent lattes and ample opportunity to appreciate artworks from local artists, photographers and craftsmen.
MILITARY AVIATION MUSEUM
Take a ride on a vintage 1941 Boeing Stearman open-cockpit biplane. Step even further back in time with a stroll through their Jerrassic Park, where metal dinosaurs frolic in the pond at the museum’s entrance.
PUNGO BOARD HOUSE
A surfboard shop in the middle of the country? Pungo Board House offers everything you need to surf and skate the day away with custom board services, lessons and even a skate ramp on the property.
