A super fun Virginia Beach attraction for families includes the Beach Playground at 31st Street. If you’re strolling the Virginia Beach Boardwalk and stumbled upon the King Neptune Statue, you are sure to find a hidden gem located adjacent to the towering statue.

On the sand is where you’ll find the Beach Playground (right behind the mighty statue). This makes for an ideal beach trip for families with little ones who would like to play in the surf, then step over for some fun on the slides.

The Beach Playground at 31st Street is a ship-shaped play area that is designed for children ages 2-12 to enjoy.

This playground is made with the hot sun in mind. The play equipment here is made of materials that don’t get hot, even with the bright sun blaring on it. This protects the little vacationers from having a not-so-pleasant beach experience.

The Beach Playground is a great Virginia Beach thing to do for families who are looking for a no-fuss activity that is fun and convenient.

The location of this Virginia Beach attraction is most ideal.

31st Street at the Oceanfront provides access to the beach, nearby public restrooms, and various restaurants and shops for your convenience. Depending on the time you visit, you may be able to enjoy live entertainment at Neptune’s Park (also located on the Boardwalk at 31st Street). Don’t forget to view and take pictures of one of the mightiest structures on the Boardwalk, the King Neptune Statue!
