Virginia Beach

Norfolk's coastal neighbor

Virginia Beach is a coastal city in southeastern Virginia, the state's most populous city and a major resort destination along the Atlantic Ocean.

The oceanfront boardwalk and beaches draw summer tourists, while the city also hosts a significant military presence with nearby naval installations.

We rented a house in Virginia Beach for the week.
