Things To Do

Cape Henry Lighthouse

There are two light houses on Fort Story. While the original Cape Henry Lighthouse is the 4th oldest lighthouse in the country, it was the first lighthouse authorized by the U.S. government, dating from 1792. The original is no longer in commission and so visitors are allowed to climb to the top and enjoy breath taking views of Virginia Beach. There is also a a working lighthouse a few yards away, however that one is maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard and civilians are not allowed inside. Though standing next to it is still a sight to see.

Virginia Beach Boardwalk

At 3 miles in length, The Virginia Beach Boardwalk is a 28-foot wide marvel that stretches from 2nd to 40th Street. It's no wonder that this favorite local attraction brings a variety of quaint outdoor restaurants and unbeatable flavor that you won't want to miss. There is also a fishing pier.
