TOP 3 THINGS TO DO IN VIRGINIA BEACH
1. “Sand, Surf & Sunbathing: Virginia Beach is a sun-lover’s paradise where the main job is perfecting your tan. The sun doesn’t discriminate—it gently grills everyone equally. So, lather on that SPF, strike a pose on the powdery sand, and bask in the glorious oceanfront view. Disclaimer: We can’t promise you’ll turn into a golden god(dess), but you’ll definitely get some vibrant tan lines.”
2. “Adventure under the Sea: Visit the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center for a wild rendezvous with slippery seals, grumpy sharks, and other charismatic marine stars. It’s like entering a whole new underwater world, but without the inconvenience of growing gills. Remember, tapping on the glass won’t make the fish talk back, but it’s hilarious watching people try.”
3. “The Boardwalk: A kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, and smells. Meander through the shops, savor the local seafood, and embrace the calliope tunes from the old-timey carousel. Yes, the arcade games might be rigged and the cotton candy might be overly sweet, but hey, that’s the charm of boardwalk life. Remember to wear comfortable shoes or risk having your feet file a formal complaint!”
TOP 3 RESTAURANTS IN VIRGINIA BEACH
1. “Commune: Farm-to-table? More like backyard-to-fork! At Commune, they serve up fresh, locally sourced dishes that’ll make you wonder if they have an enchanted garden in the back. Expect the unexpected – from foraged mushroom crepes to beetroot burgers. But the real showstopper? Their ‘volcano’ of Virginia-made wine. It’s not Vesuvius, but it sure erupts with flavor.”
2. “Blue Pete’s Restaurant: Tucked away in the enchanting Pungo forest, Blue Pete’s serves charm with a side of delicious comfort food. The place is so welcoming, even the local wildlife drops by – no, literally, watch for deer! Whether you’re dining on the famous crab cakes or sipping the signature sangria, you’ll leave planning your next ‘escape to the country’.”
3. “The Atlantic: For an elevated dining experience that might literally leave you on cloud nine, The Atlantic is a must. Perched on the 29th floor, it’s the perfect spot to eat, drink, and look down on the world (in a good way!). Its seasonal menu, driven by local seafood and produce, changes more often than the tides. Coupled with breathtaking views, it’s a gastronomic grandstand you won’t forget.”
HISTORY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
“First off, let’s rewind to 1607 when three English ships, decidedly not equipped with first-class cabins, landed on Virginia Beach. Their purpose? Not surfing, mind you, but establishing the first English colony in America, Jamestown. Fast forward to the late 19th century, and Virginia Beach had ditched its plantation wilderness look for a chic seaside resort vibe, complete with a bustling boardwalk. Cotton for cotton candy, anyone? Today, it’s a blend of coastal charm and urban sophistication. With the claim to the longest pleasure beach in the world, Virginia Beach keeps the good times rolling. Just remember, Virginia is for Lovers, and with this beach, it’s hard not to fall in love!”
PLANNING TRAVEL?
1. “Sunshine Apparel: Virginia Beach is the catwalk for your sundress and flip-flop collection. So don’t forget your coolest beachwear and a dazzling pair of shades. Remember, SPF is your BFF, but don’t get so sunscreen-happy that you slide off your beach towel!”
2. “Shutterbug Equipment: From the Atlantic’s azure expanse to the vivid sunset hues, your camera is going to be busier than a one-armed blackjack dealer in Vegas. Don’t forget extra batteries and memory cards. In Virginia Beach, missing a shot is considered a cardinal sin!”
3. “The Spirit of Adventure: Pack your curiosity, your excitement, and your love of exploration. Whether it’s paddleboarding, surfing, or discovering hidden gems at the Virginia Aquarium, there’s a world of adventure in every grain of sand. And remember, if you’ve never gotten sand in uncomfortable places, you haven’t really beach-vacationed!”
