Visit A Natural Park

In Virginia Beach, there are so many beautiful places to explore! This is something great to do on your own, with a friend, with family, or with your dog!

Reconnect with nature at one of these Virginia Beach spots:

First Landing State Park

False Cape State Park

Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge

Our favorite time to visit a park in Virginia Beach is May and June because everything is in bloom, but not too hot to enjoy the sights!

 

Memorial Day Weekend Salute to Summer

The performers at this concert event are local and regional favorites, and will be different genres for each performer.

Performances TBD!
