Virginia Beach
Beach Town · Virginia Beach, Virginia
The largest city in Virginia and the anchor of the mid-Atlantic beach coast: a three-mile concrete boardwalk with a separate bicycle path beside it, forty blocks of hotels behind that, and open Atlantic sand running north past the resort strip into quiet residential miles most visitors never reach. It is where the English colonists first came ashore in April 1607, four months before they settled Jamestown.
Atlantic Avenue at 24th Street, Virginia Beach, Virginia, 23451, United States
Beaches open year round; lifeguards on the resort strip roughly Memorial Day to Labor Day, daylight hours. Boardwalk open at all hours. Free.
