SUNSET After a busy beach day, you can’t beat a walk along the water’s edge at sunset. While the sun rises over the Atlantic Ocean, the angle of the Chesapeake Bay Beach sets you up perfectly to enjoy the sun setting over the water. CHIC’S BEACH Whether taking an evening stroll or setting up a beach chair to take in the show, this is the easiest spot to capture that unforgettable sunset shot in Virginia Beach. CHESAPEAKE BAY Get the perfect pic of the last light by dropping a paddleboard or kayak into the water and floating toward the horizon. Be sure to capture the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel in the background for a classic Virginia Beach touch. RUDEE INLET With the bridge in the foreground and the boats of the marina against the sunset in the background, this is one of our favorite marina portraits. BROAD BAY At favorite local eateries like The Back Deck , Bubba’s Seafood Restaurant and Chick’s Oyster Bar , you can enjoy a sunset with a side of fresh seafood and delicious drinks while sitting out over the water in the Chesapeake Bay region. THE NARROWS The tapering waterway bordering First Landing State Park , known to locals as The Narrows, is one of our favorite hidden spots to snap a beautiful photo over the water.
