What is the boardwalk like in Virginia Beach?
I've been to a few east coast beaches and the boardwalks are slighty different. Is there a lot of shopping and dining right on the boardwalk? How about activities for children? Is everything pretty much within walking distance or is there car travel needed to enjoy Virginia Beach?

Very little of anything is on the actual boardwalk. Most of the shops are on Atlantic Avenue, one block inland from the boardwalk. You will definitely need a car, as many of the attractions are located on General Booth Blvd. which runs south from the Oceanfront area. Virginia Beach is a very large city covering nearly 500 sq. miles and a population of over 433,000 making it more populated than Miami, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.

I was there a few years ago. There was a nice boardwalk along the beach but it was just a boardwalk. All of the shopping/dining stuff was along that first road that borders the beach (maybe 1/2 block in from the beach). It was easy to walk to a lot of things, and they also have a trolley system that was either free or really cheap. We even accidentally got on one that traveled way inland to a mall. You won't need a car. My son was about 5 when we went and most of our "activities" included days on the beach or at the pool, going out to eat and for ice cream, and one evening we played miniature golf. There is probably more available, but that was enough for us

I grew up on Manasquan Beach, NJ and am very partial to it. Similar to Virginia Beach, I would say, would be Atlantic City and Ocean City, although Virginia Beach is tops in my mind. Further south I like Myrtle Beach and Atlantic Beach, FL, or any of those south of Jacksonville. Of course Malaga, Spain; Tangier, Morocco; and Santa Monica, CA are REALLY nice. As a retired Navy CPO I have seen them all.

Check out Chix Beach about, oh, 15 miles or so north from the Virginia Beach Resort area. Compared to the resort, you'll practically have the place to yourself

Traveling to Virginia Beach from Vermont?
My husband and I are planning a trip to Virginia Beach with our 16 month old. We are leaving from VT and driving down. Since it is a long trip we thought we would stop for the night half way to VA. Can anyone recommend a nice family orientated place to stop for the night that has places to visit?

Rough estimate is that Philadelphia would be the 1/2 way point. The closest thing I could suggest to a family oriented place to stop is going west of Philadelphia to Amish country. The problem with that suggestion is that there isn't much to see/do after sundown. Assuming you want to maximize your driving day? Lancaster area (Amish country) is about 50-75 miles west of Philadelphia metro area, which could take you 200 miles out of your way depending on the route you take to VA Beach. 16 month old won't care or know where you stop anyway. Point being I wouldn't go out of my way on account of the 16 mo old. After several hours on the road it's likely you won't want to do anything other than relax and sleep either. I'd plan your driving route to get to VA beach the quickest way, and not go out of my way on the layover

Its going to be a little chilly, not to bad though, should be around 65 or 68 degrees, not bath water, but not totally uncomfortable. I usually vacation a little further north in Virginia, Chincoteague Island, and found the temps pretty much the same as Virginia Beach. Â
