Singles traveling together will find that dance clubs, bars and karaoke nights offer fun opportunities to meet new friends. For us who enjoy the challenge of water sports, activities such as parasailing, jet-skiing, windsurfing and boogie boarding easily fill the day. Most items are available for rent including beach chairs and umbrellas. Sunbathers will find this beach to be the cleanest on the eastern seaboard.
In comparison with most resorts, there are no commercial facilities on the Boardwalk. This means that all of the hundreds of thousands of oceanfront rooms have an unobstructed view of the ocean. With every one having its own balcony, each sunrise finds hundreds on their patio, aiming their lenses at the horizon. Another special treat is seeing some of the soldiers from nearby Naval Station Norfolk doing their early morning calisthenics on the beach or jogging the entire boardwalk.
Oceanfront hotels during the summer season can start around 0 per night. The rate is lessened after Labor Day, and some facilities offer deeper discounts during the mid-winter. Hotels that are on the other side of Atlantic Ave. are costing less. There are many smaller Virginia Beach motels that offer inexpensive prices even during the high season. These motels are usually there some streets back from the beach. Those with younger families can easily find Virginia Beach hotels that have separate wading or baby pools, within walking distance of fast food and pizza shops.
For the younger crowd, evenings can be filled with visits to an amusement park, miniature golf courses, arcades, and in the summer, entertainment by jugglers and magicians. Older children and teens will enjoy outdoor music, the fishing pier, and things such as Va. Beach Ghostwalk and Pirate cruise, while older adults may prefer a dinner cruise. The men may especially enjoy deep sea fishing charters and professional quality golf courses. If you’re up for a change of pace, try a vacation in Memphis, Tennessee.
