Virginia Beach

Go here: Virginia Beach boasts three distinct beaches within the city limits: the Chesapeake Bay, which offers the lush green scenery of First Landing State Park, where settlers embarked in 1607 before pushing their way up the James River to Jamestown; the busy resort area, which features live music, street performers and outdoor cafes; and the secluded Sandbridge area on Virginia Beach's southern shore, perfect for family retreats.
