Virginia Beach is a charming seaside town known for its exquisite stretches of coastline and its lovely oceanfront boardwalk. Boasting three diverse beaches, two state parks and delicious seafood, the town attracts many visitors seeking a classic summer holiday. Activities range from kayaking quiet waterways, to chartering a boat, biking along the boardwalk or simply relaxing in the sun. Chesapeake Bay Bridge offers some excellent fishing opportunities from the pier as well as the chance to watch huge ships come into the harbour. Visitors can also look forward to seeing the Cape Henry Lighthouses, the site of the Jamestown colonists’ first landing in 1607, and dolphins at the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Not-to-be-missed is the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Centre exhibiting ocean life such as sharks, rays and sea turtles in globally themed habitats.
