More than 2.4 million tourists visit Virginia Beach each year from all over the United States and Canada. With the historically-rich Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg areas just a short drive away, you can take advantage of so much more than our refreshing ocean waters.

The summer weather in Virginia Beach is perfect for visitors! Temperatures average in the mid 80's (29°C) from May to August! But the mild Virginia Beach climate in the early spring and the late fall is also ideal for visitors who may want to enjoy a more relaxed vacation before or after the start of the busy summer season.

But no matter when you visit, you can always find something to do for everyone. Kids can crack a home run at the outdoor batting cages, enjoy soft-serve ice cream at the boardwalk's unique Dairy Queen facility, take a ride on the giant swing at Rudee Inlet, or putt a few rounds on one of the many mini-golf courses dotting the oceanfront.

For the adults, "The Block" (as some of the locals have affectionately branded it) offers an entertaining mix of clubs, bars and restaurants - "The Edge", "Crazy Charlie's", "Luna Sea", and "Chicho's" are just a few of the local favorites. Then chow down at the famous eats of "Mahi Mahs", "C.P. Shuckers" and "Crocs".

You can find a place to stay in one of our 11,000 hotel rooms (and that's not including camping grounds and seasonal rental units). Then get yourself a comfortable pair of shoes - with 310 square miles of sand, there's a lot of area to cover and so much to do. So let's get started!
