BEACH LOVERS
There is a breeze across your face and sand
between your toes. You take a deep breath of salt
air and soak in the day's last rays of sunlight. You
look over and see your loved ones deep in their
own beach moment. The one you can only get
with a pilgrimage to the edge of the earth to see
and touch the ocean. No matter what your dream
beach looks like, Virginia has something just like
it. This is why Virginia is for Beach Lovers.
Wild horses, pristine waterways and legendary
sunrises give our Eastern Shore beaches their
natural charm. Virginia Beach brings together
three distinct beaches experiences: the secluded
escape of Sandbridge, the calm waters of the
Chesapeake Bay and the vibrant coastal energy
of the Resort Area. Whatever your beach looks
like, you can find it in Virginia.

Can't Miss
Opportunities:
Beaches
The Eastern Shore is full of can'tmiss opportunities. Check out
Kiptopeke State Park for beach and
boat access to the Chesapeake
Bay. Sign up for a Kayak Winery
tour with Southeastern Expeditions
to explore the coastal creeks with a
stop along the way at a local winery.
Finally, head north to visit the Shore's
sister islands, Chincoteague and
Assateague, with miles of beaches
and hiking trails and the occasional
wild pony sighting.
`

In the Northern Neck, which
stretches between the Rappahannock
and Potomac Rivers, visit one of
the five small public beaches that
run along the Potomac, including
Westmoreland State Park, where
fossil collectors will enjoy hunting
for shark teeth, and Colonial Beach,
the site of George Washington's
Birthplace.
