In Virginia Beach, a total of 14 miles of beach are open to the public. You don't just walk on the boardwalk. You stroll, you saunter, you amble down the promenade, basking in the sunshine and festivity. Speed it up by jogging, biking, blading or skating. From 1st Street to 39th Street, this is one of the most fascinating 3-mile walks in the world.
Colorful flags snap and flap in the ocean breeze.
Painted ponies dance on the old-fashioned carousel. The famous Norwegian Lady statue gazes out to the horizon. The boardwalk is the place to see and be seen. Catch the latest bathing suit fashions, the tangiest lemonade and the freshest fish at the end of the 15th Street pier. You can shag in the sand to the sound of beach music spilling off the 17th and 24th Street oceanfront park stages.
