Virginia Beach is in the Guinness Book of Records as "The World's Longest Pleasure Beach." Virginia Beach and the
surrounding vacation beaches area offers the unique
combination of an expansive sand beach, an over
three mile long "Boardwalk,"
-- and a bicycle path - something for
everyone.
A great reasonably
priced family vacation beach destination.
Great for those who
enjoy any or all of the following:
- Enjoyable beach-side
walks
- Leisurely 4-wheeled or regular
bicycle rides
- Roller blading
- Beach side carnival
rides
- Beach front ocean or people
watching
- Day Trips to Great Nearby
Attractions
- Other Nearby "Hidden" Natural Beach Areas
- Or . . .
- Just walking on the sandy beach and swimming in
the Ocean

No, I don't work for the Virginia Beach Chamber of
Commerce, but my Wife and I have really been
impressed with the places of interest in Virginia
-- and the Virginia Beach area and nearby vacation
beaches attractions in particular!
Virginia Beach has 38 miles of various types
of coastlines - from the clean and improved
to the rough and very primitive. There are many
small "Hidden" Beaches in the area. (See our
Virginia Beach Area Beaches Page.)
The surrounding area has many outstanding
places of historical and scenic interest and
great attractions within 45 - 90
minutes driving time for enjoyable Day
Trips out from Virginia Beach vacation
beaches.
