Virginia Beach Vacations - 5 Things You Need To Know
from: Chris GallowayVirgina Beach is a popular destination for both business
conferences and family vacations.
Where Is It & How To Get There Virginia Beach is on the
Atlantic coast in the south of Virginia, just north of the North
Carolina border and a short distance from Norfolk and
Chesapeake.
Driving To drive there, the easiest routes from the west
are Interstate 64, U.S. 460 or U.S. 58. If you're coming from
the north Interstate 95 or US 13 and from the south, Interstates
85 or 95 and U.S. 17. These Interstates connect to Interstate
64, which links through to the Virginia Beach-Norfolk
Expressway, Interstate 264. This will take you directly to the
Virginia Beach beachfront.
Flying Norfolk International Airport is the gateway to
Virginia Beach and an easy 30-minute drive. There are more than
200 daily connecting flights from major hubs and cities.
The Climate & Weather The best beach months are June
through September when the average temperatures are pleasantly
high.
Jun Air 74 Water 67
Jul Air 79 Water 73
Aug Air 78 Water 76
Sep Air 79 Water 73
Through Dec, Jan and Feb the average air temperatures are 43,
40 and 41 respectively.
The Beach The main part of the beach is approximately 10
miles long and faces slightly north of due east straight out
into the Atlantic ocean. It runs from North Virginia Beach past
Virginia Beach itself and then onto Sandbridge Beach, which is
about 10 miles south of Virginia Beach. If you keep heading
south, you come to the Back Bay wildlife refuge about another 12
miles further south of Sandbridge Beach.
Accommodation If you want a room with an ocean view, the
oceanfront streets are Atlantic Ave in Virginia Beach itself
which becomes Oceanfront Ave as you head north. Pacific Ave is
the next street back from the Atlantic Ave i.e.one block back
from the oceanfront. There are also several creeks and lakes a
