There is a lot to do in Virginia Beach! When I first visited this huge city it was a little uncomfortable trying to find my way around. After living here (and playing here) for many years, I thought it would be helpful to write an article that provided a few pieces of advice for others who may be new to the area like I once was.
The first thing that needs to be mentioned in any article about things to do in Virginia Beach, is the Ocean front! Virginia Beach has the largest pleasure beach in the entire world according to the Guinness Book of World Records. The entire boardwalk along the beach is full of fun stuff to do on a summer day! The shopping includes dozens of gift shops and clothing stores for souvenir collecting if you are looking to take something home with you after your trip.

In addition to the shopping, there is an enormous outdoor concert hall called the Verizon Amphitheater. Located right on the beach, famous bands and musicians come year round for shows that attendees are likely to never forget, right on the sand! The warm Atlantic Ocean atmosphere makes for a concert experience like few other venues can offer.
While in Virginia Beach, you will also want to check out a few of the many malls the city has to offer. The largest of which is the Lynnhaven Mall, just off of the Lynnhaven Parkway. This mall includes everything you would expect from a metropolitan mall, such as a giant AMC movie theater, as well as Dick's Sporting Good's, JCPenny's, and Macy's department stores. The mall is two stories tall, with the second floor focusing mainly on the food court that offers a variety of options that allow anyone in your party to eat exactly what they crave.
Virginia Beach is also home to three major military bases which makes it's large population of nearly half a million people constantly changing. Locals in the area are strong supporters of our military personnel, because much of the population consists of these individuals. Chances are you will run into a military family or two while visiting the beach this summer!
When it comes right down to it, the best way to find things to do in Virginia Beach is to get out there and explore the city. I could give you recommendation after recommendation, but the things you will always remember and enjoy the most are the things you stumble upon with your loved ones while out on the town. I would encourage you to get to know this great city the same way I did; get out of the house and see it for yourself!
