Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach boardwalk is a wonderful 3 miles stretch of land along the Atlantic Ocean. I would recommend visiting the beach boardwalk during the spring months as the crowd is less and the temperature is bit cooler. You might find many hotels and restaurants located along with boardwalk.

One of my favorite and special parts about Virginia Beach boardwalk is that there is a bike path and separate walking, which eliminates the usual hassle of trying to bike around people. This is the cleanest boardwalk I have visited and also, it is lit up at night, which makes you feel safe to walk around. You can take pictures by the bronze Neptune statue which is located nearby Neptune Festival Park and is a popular spot for summer events and concerts. Some of the famous tours offered during summers are the Dolphin kayak tours and also, the boat rides. 

Other enjoyable activities are horseback riding and para-sailing. The spring months are bit quieter, however, you will enjoy the soothing and relaxing atmosphere around the beach. Once we were there we really enjoyed walking along the beach and also biking as it was not over-crowded at all. 

You can definitely get the best deal at the nearby hotels if you are visiting the beach during off-seasons. Best Western plus Oceanfront offered us a gig of $100 per night inclusive of buffet breakfast. The view of our room was awesome with private balcony and also, had a direct access to the beach. If you are feeling hungry and want to kill your hunger than Shoreline Grill is a must stop by it is inside the hotel and is open from 4pm – 6pm. The food offered is really delicious and the quantity served is decent. The bar nearby the restaurant area has fine scotches, while the environment there makes you feel at home. 

Also, if you are staying at the beachfront hotel, you don’t need a car. The Hampton Roads Transit’s VB Wave is a delight low-fare shuttle which can fulfill your aim. It makes stops at Atlantic Avenue, the water park, campgrounds, the aquarium and shopping centers.  We did make a use of it after having dinner to our hotel and did purchase pre-paid fare cards at the nearest souvenir shop. If you want to have some adventure, probably rent a surrey or a beach cruiser to bike along the boardwalk.
