The Virginia Beach Boardwalk stretches three glorious miles from Second Street to 40th Street, offering gorgeous ocean views. This 28-foot-wide marvel is a wonderful place to go for a stroll, run or bike ride. Along the way, watch surfers catching waves, anglers reeling in the day’s catch, and little ones playing in the sand or having fun at Grommet Island Park, a fully accessible playground at 40th Street.

During the summer months, you can enjoy nightly entertainment with four oceanfront stages at 7th, 17th, 24th and 31st streets providing live music. When hunger strikes, you’ll find plenty of restaurants with outdoor seating where you can dine on fresh seafood and revel in sea breezes. Don’t miss a chance to meet some of the “local characters,” including the iconic King Neptune statue at 31st Street, which makes for the perfect photo op.
