If you are looking for family fun, look no further than a Virginia Beach
vacation. Virginia Beach is nestled on the coastline of Virginia, and offers
stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. Vacationing in Virginia provides the
perfect opportunities for family togetherness for folks looking for a small town
atmosphere with all the amenities or larger resort towns.
Residents from Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Washington DC have long
heralded Virginia Beach as a top vacation destination because of its close
proximity to their homes - most of them can reach Virginia within four to seven
hours from their home states. New Englanders looking for stunning ocean views
and hometown hospitality are only a twelve hour drive away. For those farther
away, the airport in Norfolk offers shuttles to common tourist areas.
The vacation in Virginia Beach can be as laid back or activity-packed as you
desire. Even though Virginia Beach vacations are ideal for families, Virginia's
state slogan, "Virginia is for Lovers", was created for a reason: Virginia is a
perfect honeymoon or couples get away destination. There are dozens of hotels
with balconies facing the beautiful Atlantic Ocean, dance clubs, karaoke bars,
and more for partying the night away.
Families and couples alike can enjoy water sports, jet skiing, para-sailing,
boogie boarding and windsurfing - and of course, bathing in the sun on one of
the cleanest beaches to be found on the Eastern seaboard. No matter what your
tastes, you will quickly find that vacations are usually filled with tons of
great food - from down home cooking to fast foods like pizza, there's a mix of
every cuisine possible.
Things to do while there:
- Virginia Beach Ghost Walk and Pirate Adventure Cruise - for older kids and
teens; for the parents, a dinner cruise is in order.
- Deep sea fishing charters.
- A visit to the many top notch golf courses to practice your swing.
- Shopping at the hundreds of shops on the boardwalk.
- Sunrises on a balcony overlooking the ocean.
- Rides on guest trolleys from the hotel to the beach and to shopping
district.
- The Neptune Festival (held each September).
- The Nautical Christmas Light Display (obviously held during the holiday
season).
- Sand sculpting contests.
- Fireworks during Independence Day.
- Rides on the ferry.
When planning your Virginia Beach vacation, be sure to book your hotel or
flight in advance to take advantage of early bird specials that are offered on
many travels sites. Many travelers find that they can save up to forty percent
off the cost of a room by doing so, and that they can be guaranteed the dates
and the room that they want (such as an ocean view suite).
