Pick Your Summer Adventure
Virginia Beach and adventure just go together. Make a splash enjoying watersports like kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), parasailing or surfing, or clear your mind and connect with nature at award-winning parks like First Landing or False Cape.
Hop aboard a boat tour at the Virginia Aquarium and experience dolphins swimming alongside your vessel or channel your inner Tarzan and zipline from tree to tree at the aquarium’s Adventure Park.
Art lovers will be inspired by new exhibits at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) or can “vibe out” at the ViBe Creative District - an eclectic hub of artisans, delicious bites and street art with a personality all its own.

In Virginia Beach, summer means live entertainment and plenty of chances to enjoy the breezy, warm air. Jam out on the sand with beach concerts, watch as magicians fool the human eye at Live! On Atlantic along the Boardwalk or enjoy live music and waterfront dining all season long.
Foodies can get their seafood fix at on-the-water hotspots like Waterman’s Surfside Grille on Oceanfront and Chick’s Oyster Bar in Chesapeake Bay, enjoy sushi and cocktails overlooking the Atlantic at Orion’s or wind down with a cold brew in hand at a local brewery.
From surf shops and farmer's markets to local goods made by hand, the local shopping experience in Virginia Beach is unlike any other you'll find. No matter what you are in search of, there are local shopping treasures around every corner.
