At the south end of the Oceanfront, the Rudee Inlet is the go-to hub for fishing charters, jet skiing, parasailing and waterside dining. Head out on a fishing charter to reel in the big one, feel the wind in your face as you glide across the water on a jet ski and catch a seagull’s-eye-view of the Atlantic Ocean as you fly up in the air parasailing. To complete your seaside adventure in tasty fashion, enjoy seafood done right while overlooking the water at Big Sam’s Raw Bar, Rockafeller’s, or Rudee’s on the Inlet. No matter what your vibe is, The Rudee Inlet Marina District is a must-visit when visiting the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.
Rudee Inlet businesses, restaurants and attractions remain open and ready to serve you during City construction on Winston Salem Avenue. You can still enjoy all this area has to offer. For the best routes to the Rudee Inlet Marina District, visit VirginiaBeach.gov/WinstonSalem.
