Things to Do in Virginia Beach This Summer


If you’re looking for something fun to do in Virginia Beach this summer, there’s no shortage of activities! Whether you want to take a dip in the ocean, explore some local attractions, listen to great music,  or simply relax with your family, you’ll find plenty of options. 

One of the most popular things to do is sunbathing on the beach. With miles and miles of white sand, it’s a perfect spot to relax and catch some Vitamin D. For the more adventurous types, there are plenty of watersports available too. Try your hand at surfing or stand up paddle boarding for a fun way to cool off in the summer heat. 

If you’re looking for something a little different, why not check out one of Virginia Beach’s local attractions? The Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center is a great place to learn about the ocean and its inhabitants. You can also explore the historic Cape Henry Lighthouse, stroll along the boardwalk and take in some of the city’s best views. 

Of course, no summer trip would be complete without experiencing some local cuisine! There are plenty of restaurants to try, from seafood shacks to fine dining establishments. No matter what you’re in the mood for, you’ll be sure to find something that will satisfy your taste buds.  In fact, you can enjoy great food, drinks, and oceanviews at Hemingways in Holiday Inn Oceanside!

So whether you’re looking for a day in the sun or an evening of entertainment, Virginia Beach has plenty of activities and attractions for everyone.
