Located in southeast Virginia, Virginia Beach is filled with historic and natural sites including First Landing State Park’s swampy forest trails and beachfront. Visitors can uncover the city’s nautical history through exploring maritime-inspired statues and listening to stories of places from the past such as Cape Henry Lighthouse. There are also plenty of fun theme parks and popular festivals in Virginia Beach. For those who prefer modern-day attractions, families can have tubular adventures at Ocean Breeze Waterpark or reach for the stars on Atlantic Fun Park’s Ferris wheel. Nature-enthusiasts can go birding at Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge or row across Chesapeake Bay.
