For the most idyllic time to visit Virginia Beach, it’s during summer. Although this is the warmest time of year, humidity levels can make it uncomfortable to spend the entire day on the sand. But if you’re looking for a bit of seclusion, May or September are the best months to go. You’ll also get the best value for money and the best weather! Here are a few tips for visiting Virginia Beach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Landing State Park offers restrooms and showers for day visitors and several access points off Shore Drive. This park, located just south of Virginia Beach, preserves six miles of pristine shoreline, marshes, and woodlands. Hiking trails are also available. If you’re looking to do something different, try skydiving. The Jamestown Colony is also located here, and it was founded by a group of English colonists in 1607.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you’re in town, don’t miss the Virginia Aquarium. This museum is comprised of two buildings and features displays that show the history of Virginia and marine life. You can also take a glass walk-through Red Sea tunnel, view mechanical dinosaurs, or enjoy a 3D movie. Visitors can also purchase hand-carved decoys, or get a souvenir. There are so many things to see in Virginia Beach that the whole family can enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the many attractions in Virginia Beach, there are still some things that visitors should know to stay safe. Though Virginia Beach is a very safe place to visit, you should still use your common sense and use caution when in the city at night. There are scammers and pickpockets who prey on tourists. Therefore, make sure to lock your car whenever you’re not using it, and park it in a secured lot. Remember not to leave any valuables or personal items in your car, as this could lead to break-ins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For shopping and dining, try the ViBe Creative District, a cultural enclave that has become a hot spot for artists and creatives. This historic neighborhood has a variety of local and regional businesses, including a popular craft brewery and art gallery. There are also a few locally-owned shops to browse. The area is home to the Chesapeake Bay Distillery and several restaurants. The restaurants are also surrounded by murals, making it easy to find something to suit any taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not fond of seafood, you can go to a local oyster farm to sample some local varieties. Lynnhaven oysters were nearly extinct, but now you can enjoy them at the seafood restaurants on the waterfront. There’s also a boat tour you can take if you’d like to learn more about this endangered species. Alternatively, if you’d prefer to try a more unique dish, you can go to Repeal Bourbon & Burgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Virginia Beach Boardwalk is a great place to explore the town’s many attractions and boutiques. You can buy souvenirs, Virginia Beach apparel and even hermit crabs. You can also find upscale shopping along 31st Street, where you can visit The Shoppes at 31 Ocean. For beachwear, try Bargain Beachwear and Sunsations. Attractions along the boardwalk include Meg’s Swimwear, Bargain Beachwear, and Atlantic Avenue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
