Virginia Beach, Virginia harbors one its greatest resources of wealth and entertainment, the actual beach. The beach is a highly sought vacation experience because of its warm water and its location in the northern area of the United States. It is a vacation area that closely resembles the game of Monopoly: the properties surrounding the game board is the name of the streets leading up to the Boardwalk, the walking area parallel to the beach. Virginia Beach should be voted America's top beach because it is family oriented, has great restaurants and delivers pleasing entertainment and sights.

A Family Oriented Beach

While traveling the streets of Virginia Beach, you will find many families either traveling by walking, trolley or automobile. However, family or individual bicycles seem to be the most popular, fun way families travel the boardwalk. Both types of bikes can be utilized along the boardwalk in a specific path created for those riding bikes. Family bikes can be purchased for a 4-8 person family. With an overhead canopy, the family bikes have pedals for each person riding. Bikes rental shops, directly underneath vacation homes, are more expensive than the shops along Atlantic Avenue.

Virginia Beach has small playgrounds in the sand along the beach. This is an area where the kids can be led in activities with their parents, especially if the parents are weary of allowing their child to play in the waves of the water. In addition to the playgrounds, there are also sandboxes on the boardwalk.

Virginia Beach fosters an atmosphere of respect for children and adults, with its many signs posted along Atlantic Avenue that suggest no cursing from visitors. These small, circle signs are outlined in red with a red slash over three symbols and two exclamation marks. This policy is heavily enforced by the police, who will fine a violator on the spot for using expletives openly.

Great Restaurants

Many restaurants along the Oceanfront offer stunning views of Virginia Beach. While there are many to choose from, specific locations are immediately recommended by frequent visitors and the concierges of vacation homes.

Interesting article. Warm water is a plus for me and so is prohibiting swearing.

Virginia Beach sounds really nice. I like the fact that the water is warm and in your first picture there's a sign prohibiting swearing. That's good to know for families who will be taking their children to the beach and for others who do not want to hear that kind of language. Sophie
