Review & FAQ:

Virginia Beach is a charming small coastal town a few hours from Washington D.C. known for being the longest pleasure beach in the world.

The popular tourist destination of Virginia Beach is a combination of history, entertainment, and beautiful nature. Along the Atlantic Ocean, from Croatan all the way to the north end of the city beach, is the Resort Area, the most popular and most lively part of town.

Here, you can find all kinds of live music, street performers, food vendors, outdoor cafes, and a 3-mile long boardwalk that parallels the beach. It is the place for jogging and rollerblading, for coming off the beach for a cold drink, to have a bite to eat, and people-watch.

The beach is very popular with surfers, swimmers, and sun-worshipers and lifeguards make it safe for the kids as well.
