Walk along the ocean on Virginia Beach Boardwalk, known for its sidewalk performers and restaurants offering alfresco seating and live entertainment. The boardwalk is about 3 mi (5 km) long and 8 m (27 ft) wide, with separate paths for cycling and rollerblading. A major tourist attraction, this concrete boardwalk connects over 40 hotels, nightclubs, and outdoor oceanfront stages, which host live musical acts every night during the warmer months. Along one of the longest beaches in the world, you can explore two amusement parks and several themed play areas. Don't miss a stop at the two boardwalk museums, which chronicle the natural and cultural heritage of Virginia Beach. Make Virginia Beach Boardwalk part of your personalized Virginia Beach itinerary using our Virginia Beach day trip planning tool.
