Virginia Beach Vacation
Online Sweepstakes

There's more to this than soft sands and rolling waves. It's the way you feel when your lungs fill with salt air and the possibility of a day all to yourself. Or the sensation of the warm sun as it evaporates tiny drops of ocean from your skin. There's the echo of birds and laughter that cause you to wonder what you'll see when you open your eyes. You might be dreaming, you might be feeling this for the first time in a long time. You might be more yourself than ever.

The establishment of Virginia Beach began as early as John Smith's brave voyage from England to the New World.Virginia Beach is best known as a resort, with miles of beaches and hundreds of hotels, motels, and restaurants along its oceanfront. It is also home to several state parks, several long protected beach areas, three military bases, a number of large corporations, two universities, and historic sites. Near the point where the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean meet, Cape Henry was the site of the first landing of the English colonists bound for Jamestown on April 26, 1607.
