What can you tell me about the boardwalk?

The Virginia Beach boardwalk is one of its main attractions. Why all the buzz?
As soon as you arrive at the Virginia Beach Boardwalk, you realize you're on vacation. Immediately, you hear the sounds of young ones
screaming at the top of their lungs as they whirl around on the gigantic "Skyscraper". Strap into this huge two-armed spinning machine,
and you're going for a ride. The carnival like atmosphere is simply contagious, and you can't help but feel like you're going to have
a good time.
The Virginia Beach Boardwalk isn't actually made out of boards at all. It's a concrete walkway that is more than 3 miles long. Starting
at 3rd Street and continuing along the ocean to around 39th street, the boardwalk offers everything from oceanfront restaurants like
Waterman's Grill, to everyone's favorite pit stop, Dairy Queen. That's not to mention the more than 40 hotels with oceanfront rooms.
The public access to the beach features running water stations which allow you to rinse off after your day in the sun. Quite convenient
for those who love the sand, but would prefer to leave it at the beach.
Lots of hotel choices

There are even crosswalks for pedestrians

Not interested in walking 3 miles?
One other feature of Virginia Beach's boardwalk is its bike path. Rent a bike for a couple of hours, and you can take the whole family
for a spin. That's right. The whole family. Virginia Beach features multi-person bikes for 2, 4, even 6 passengers. Talk about
a lesson in teamwork. Move over Fred and Wilma, we're comin' through!
You can also find several event venues located on the boardwalk. Everything from wine tasting fests to monster truck madness, you'll
find it here. See our events calendar for dates and more information.
Taking a stroll along the boardwalk is a great way to people watch and chat about the days events. Whether you're winding down your
day on the beach, or just getting ready for some fun in the sun, the Virginia Beach Boardwalk will set the stage.
