1) Endless Beaches. One of Virginia Beach’s top attractions are its beaches! From scenic beach spots in Chesapeake Bay to the miles of resort beaches along the boardwalk, or the exclusive Sandbridge beach in southern Virginia beach – you won’t have any problems finding space for your towel or an impromptu beach volleyball game.
2) The Virginia Beach Aquarium is one of the best aquariums in the country with over 700,000 gallons of aquarium space throughout. A journey through the aquarium’s indoor pavilion explores sharks, giant turtles, and stingrays up-close behind glass while the Marsh Pavilion looks at otters snakes, and natural marsh dwellers in the wild.
3) Activities for the Entire Family. There are endless water sports and land sports to take on when you’re vacationing in Virginia Beach. Go kayaking with dolphins, take surfing lessons, sailing, parasailing or jet-skiing, or try hike-in camping at False Cape State Park or First Landing State Park, just on the outskirts of Virginia Beach.
4) Colonial Williamsburg will turn any kid into a history-lover. Only 1 hour and 15 minutes from Virginia Beach by car, once you step into this 18th century town, you’ll get lost in the history, amongst the women with bonnets and men with muskets and wigs.
