Getaway Guide
Virginia Beach Boardwalk
Get out and get moving along the 3-mile oceanfront promenade.
Becca Restaurant & Garden
Becca is part of the Cavalier Hotel, it's a modern, garden-to-table spot that’s super elegant. ☕ Coffee Recommendation: They brew Segafredo coffee (and offer J’enwey tea), we recommend you try their coffee at least once. It's incredible.
Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center
Virginia Beach has one of the top aquariums on the East Coast, featuring interactive exhibits, sharks, & Taylor's favorites, sea turtles & otters. The aquarium also offers an outdoor adventure park, boat tours, and hands-on learning experiences just a short drive from the hotel.

Chix on the Beach
Enjoy some of the best crushes and ocean views at Chix. Chris's favorite: Blueberry lemonade crush Taylor's favorite: Lime crush
Murphy’s Irish Pub
We love a good Irish pub! One of the main outdoor bartenders is from Philly, so it feels like a little home away from home. Sit outside on the covered patio and catch live music.
Orion's Roof
If you’re looking for a spot to grab lunch or dinner with a view, Orion’s rooftop is at the top of the Marriott! Our recommendations: Order the Espresso Martini, Yellowtail Jalapeño Roll, and Pad Thai
The Deck Seagrill & Bar
Bacon. Wrapped. Scallops. & Piña Coladas. This is an outdoor bar, that's oceanfront next to our hotel(s). It's our spot. We think you'll love it too!
We Scream Ice Cream and Coffee Shop
Inside the Marriot, enjoy some ice cream and coffee at We Scream Ice Cream & Coffee Shop.
Pacifica
This was the first spot we stopped at when we first visited VA Beach. They moved, so this location is a lot bigger and better than it's original BUT we love it here. It holds a special place in our heart. When we toured the Marriott in March as our venue we stopped in here for a toast to what is now our confirmed venue!
Rudee Dolphin Watching Tours
Embark from Rudee Inlet: Opt for a 60‑minute ride on the iconic Rudee Rocket - a fast-paced speedboat where dolphins splash alongside your wake and sightings are guaranteed. Or sign-up for a calmer 90-minute Dolphin Watching Cruise aboard a multi‑deck vessel offering narrated tours by naturalists in a more relaxed setting, complete with panoramic views and indoor cabins. Educational & Eco‑Friendly: Both tours are guided by experienced marine‑life experts who share fascinating insights about bottlenose dolphins, their habitats, behavior, and conservation efforts . These trips prioritize safe, respectful wildlife viewing - keeping boats at responsible distances and supporting local conservation initiatives.
Jungle Golf of Virginia Beach
Jungle Golf is a tropical-themed course steps from the oceanfront. Open late and walkable from most beachfront hotels, it’s a great after-dinner outing or break from the sun.
Neptune's Park
Located right along the boardwalk at 31st Street, Neptune’s Park is an oceanfront venue offering free outdoor concerts, festivals, and live entertainment throughout the summer. With the iconic King Neptune statue as a backdrop, it’s the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy local music, and soak up the Virginia Beach vibe—just steps from the sand.
