About Virginia Beach
Situated right on the Atlantic Ocean on the eastern border of the United States, Virginia Beach is a major tourist attraction. Since it is naturally blessed with miles of beautiful beaches, it has become a major destination for vacationing Americans as well as visiting travelers from other parts of the world.
There is a wide array of available accommodation on Virginia Beach, ranging from large resorts right on the beach to rental houses, apartments, and smaller motels located further from the ocean. Depending on the distance to the ocean and the season chosen for the visit, the price of staying in this city can vary considerably.
Shopping and first class dining experiences are also abundant throughout the city. In certain areas, visitors can even attend waterside marketplaces to shop while still enjoying the beauty of the shoreline.
Yet, there is a lot more to do in this city than soak up the sun and sand. Norfolk is a very popular destination for tourists who want to get a closer look into the world of the U.S Navy. It allows visitors to actually walk on a real World War II war ship and do a variety of other Navy-themed activities.
While Virginia Beach is very much a large resort time that thrives on tourism today, it still has a rich history which is displayed through historical sites and landmarks.
