The place would get 5 stars from me if it weren't for the fact you get a second hand high from all the weed being smoked everywhere you go! The place was clean. It felt safe for the family to go an… Full review by david a

Beach was clean, but over crowded. The whole area smells like weed constantly, everywhere. I don't care that people smoke, however I don't and after 3 days of smelling it I find it offensive. I wil… Full review by Getaway11082099538

We spent a day at the beach here in July. We got down to the beach about 9:30 (the kids were very eager). It's not my favorite beach I've ever been to but it was nice. The high tide line left a v… Full review by Michelle L

Q:
We are visiting VA beach on Saturday and staying through the next week. Now I am reading news about overcrowding in the beach and people not wearing masks or maintaining social distancing on the beach or boardwalk. How bad is it? Little nervous visiting in the light of what I am reading.

On the beach ppl social distanced pretty well. On the Boardwalk ppl also wore mask. On Atlantic street things were iffy. It’s hot and difficult but we stayed away from ppl so we were fine.

Parking on the street requires a credit card. There are also parking decks and lots. September is, in my opinion, the best time to go to Va Beach. The water is cool but you can certainly go in to your knees. The Neptune Festival is the last weekend of the month and a fun event. Just know the area shall be somewhat crowded then. Otherwise, enjoy your stay. One of the best beaches on the East Coast.

I’ve grown up here.just really depends. If you have a car. It’s cheaper to stay a little further from the beach. Personally I’d stay more towards the north end. PAST 24th (unlike the other comments) and not around 1st either. It depends on how touristy you want your visit. Right now til Labor Day I don’t like to head to even that part of the oceanfront due to parking/heat/tourists (it was 101 yesterday)
