Dockside Seafood Marina VA Beach is a truly family friend restaurant on the water.  Many others near the boardwalk are more “bar” than restaurant and aren’t as kid friendly.  Come dine with us on the docks where you and the kids can relax in their spacious dining rooms or outside around the pier.  Enjoy a delicious meal that won’t break the vacation budget.  Enjoy the scenic marina and hear the bells of all the boats docked, along with the calls of all the local birds.  Welcome to paradise.

Looking to buy fresh fish and cook it at your hotel?  No problem.  Dockside also sells fresh fish, crabs, lobsters, and other seafood.  Want to buy great wines for less than what restaurants serve in their bars?  Dockside has over 1000 bottles to choose from at any time.

Only minutes away from the resort city, Dockside Seafood Marina is located on the Lynnhaven River, at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay.  It’s in the Chicks Beach area of VB.  It’s too far to walk but they have a lot of stress-free parking available.
