Thousands flock to Virginia Beach every year to visit the lively seaside resort, complete with natural wonders, beautiful beaches, and one of the best festival scenes along the U.S. eastern coastline. It’s no wonder why so many love VB, so here are our favorite things to do in Virginia Beach.
Visit the Boardwalk
A boardwalk stroll is one of summer’s best pleasures. Nostalgia-induced sights and sounds of classic arcade games, quaint restaurants, music venues, and the smell of the salty ocean air are all enjoyed at the Virginia Beach Boardwalk.
As one of Virginia Beach’s most popular attractions, the Virginia Beach Boardwalk is affectionately called “America’s favorite boardwalk.” And it’s easy to see why with its coastal charm, live music events, and endless amounts of entertainment.
Spend a day at the beach
One of the many reasons to love Virginia Beach is its beautiful beaches. Spanning for miles, golden sand meets the Atlantic Ocean with the boardwalk alongside. One of the best ways to enjoy the beach is with an early morning wake-up call to catch the sunrise over the ocean and a chance to see a dolphin in the distance.
Looking for a hotel near the beach and boardwalk, visit us at Sundial Inn.
Be a foodie in Virginia Beach
In Virginia Beach, it is easy to be a foodie. With a variety of food events and an exceptional amount of places selling delicious fish tacos, trust us you won’t go hungry. And don’t leave without trying an orange crush from Waterman’s Surfside Grill or oysters Rockefeller at Rudee’s on the Inlet.
The coastal town of Virginia Beach serves up some of the best seafood around. With its legendary oysters, She-crab soup, and of course the classic fish taco. Whether you prefer your fish fried or grilled, topped with slaw or no slaw, beans, or no beans, there are several places to get fish tacos, no matter your flavor.
Music festivals
Most likely, when traveling to Virginia Beach, you will find something going on. Whether it’s a music festival, art festival, or a sand-sculpting contest, there is always a party happening. One of the biggest events is the Neptune Festival. Celebrate the beach life with a weekend full of live music, food, art, and the International Sand Sculpting Competition.

It’s no secret the VB is home to a thriving craft beer scene. You won’t go thirsty with over 10 breweries in the area to choose from including favorites like Back Bay Brewing, Pleasure House Brewing, and the Commonwealth Brewing Company. Or discover your favorite beer at one of the many beer festivals in Virginia Beach.
