Things To Do
Virginia Beach Boardwalk
The Virginia Beach boardwalk has about 3 miles of shopping, restaurants, and the Atlantic Ocean!
Neptune’s 19th Annual Spring Wine Festival
We attended last year’s festival and had a blast! There are unlimited wine samples, food truck fare for purchase, and live music. It does get very busy so expect heavy crowds. Tickets are required for entry. The event runs from 12-5 pm; we recommend leaving early so you don’t miss the wedding :)
First Landing State Park
The park is where English colonists first landed in 1607. The park has 20 miles of trails and 1.5 miles of sandy Chesapeake Bay beach frontage.
Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center
Spend a few hours learning about and accompanied by sea creatures! There’s also a large outdoor marsh exhibit where you can see local Virginia wildlife in their natural habitat.
Cape Henry Lighthouse
See the area’s most famous lighthouse!
Military Aviation Museum
Located in Virginia Beach the Military Aviation Museum is home to one of the world’s largest collections of flying vintage military aircraft!
Norfolk Botanical Garden
Spend some time at the local botanical garden. May in coastal Virginia is a beautiful time of year — but allergy sufferers may want to be prepared!
