Despite our relatively mild winters, there’s always something magical about the arrival of spring in Virginia Beach. With each new bud, the world gets a little greener; with each balmy breeze, joy blooms a little brighter.
When it comes to spring outdoor activities in Virginia Beach, this is when our beautiful parks and preserves come to life — but you’re still likely to see more wildlife than you will fellow hikers and bikers. Even better: our legendary strawberries are coming into season, and farms all over Pungo are bursting with fresh produce. Starting with spring break, Virginia Beach event season starts to ramp up as well, with everything from Virginia Beach spring festivals to garden tours to rodeos plus a steady stream of music and theater.
