				&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;...

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.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:hsl(344,72%,44%);font-size:24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unique Experiences in Pungo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;...

				&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:hsl(16,68%,48%);font-size:24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Savor Our Coastal Flavors&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;With its location on the southern tip of the Chesapeake Bay, our coastal community has a seafood-centric culinary culture, boasting a wide array of unique restaurants and delectable fare. With the famously rich waters of the bay, hundreds of inlets snaking through the city and miles of farmland, Virginia Beach is the place for seafood and locally harvested ingredients — and that’s only the beginning. From a growing brewery network and our legendary Lynnhaven oysters to local chefs who are constantly pushing what it means to be farm-and sea-to-table, our culinary scene is truly something to be savored.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-decoration:none;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:hsl(16,68%,48%);&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WE LOVE OUR SEAFOOD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the fall and winter months, our regular seafood craze gets even fresher. December and January are the peak seasons for rockfish (striped bass), striper, black sea bass, flounder, speckled trout and blueline tilefish — all available within 50 miles. That’s not surprising though, since the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay is considered to be the largest and most biologically diverse estuary in the U.S., yielding more seafood than any of the country’s other 840 estuaries, making us — and all seafood lovers — incredibly lucky.&lt;/p&gt;...
