By Car

Approaching the Virginia Beach coast from the west? The most convenient routes are Interstate 64, U.S. 460 or U.S. 58. From the south or north, Interstates 85 or 95 and U.S. 17 are your easiest bet. Traveling south to see us? For a spectacular scenic route, take the world-famous Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel* (U.S. 13), a 17-mile span connecting Virginia’s Eastern Shore with Virginia Beach – an engineering marvel in its own right! All of these routes intersect Interstate 64, which connects with the Virginia Beach-Norfolk Expressway (Interstate 264) and leads directly to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.

*Please note that the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and the Elizabeth River Bridge Tunnel require tolls.

In Virginia Beach, water is never too far away.

Linking the Chesapeake Bay and the James River estuaries is the Hampton Roads Harbor, one of the finest natural harbors and home-port to the world’s largest naval base, NS Norfolk. Here, the Intracoastal Waterway begins at mile marker 1.

Navigators along the East Coast can reach Virginia Beach by plotting a course on the Intracoastal Waterway or the Atlantic Ocean. For more information about local marinas and slip fees, call 1-800-VA BEACH.
