A laid-back, waterfront seafood spot in Virginia Beach—more about the vibe and location than fine dining. A true VB institution and right near where Haley grew up!
Ocean Eddie’s is a kitschy, no-frills beach spot. It's an oceanfront landmark and just so happens to be where Tom and Bebe had their first date!
Check out Orion's for an upscale rooftop dining experience with panoramic views of the coastline. Great sushi, but Haley says try their miso cod.
Located in the historic Cavalier Hotel (another Virginia Beach landmark), Becca offers a more refined dining experience. Be sure to go the Hunt Room after dinner and grab an Old Fashioned for Nick.
Another oceanfront staple. Enjoy some mini-golf nostalgia if you have extra time in town. We may be especially deferential to Jungle Golf since we're a big fan of the owner — hey Trey!
This is a brand-new and unique attraction in Virginia Beach. It's a man-made surf lagoon + beach club + entertainment hub that lets you surf perfect waves anytime, regardless of ocean conditions. We haven't been yet, so let us know what you think!
Cape Charles will be hosting a fleet of historic sailing vessels in their harbor over the holiday weekend, as a kick-off to the nationwide celebrations planned for America's 250th birthday. From Friday through Sunday, there will be tons of free events open to the public, including vendor markets, sailboat tours, historical reenactments, live music, fireworks and more. The exact schedule has not been released yet, but will be posted on their website eventually.
Corner Bakery is the definition of a beloved local bakery—the kind of place people go out of their way to visit. It's located north of Cape Charles in the town of Onancock (where Haley's Dad grew up). Be sure to stop in to get cream puffs and sweet potato rolls if you're traveling South along Route 13 on your way to the wedding (*closed Sundays).
A signature waterfront restaurant on the marina. You'll be able to enjoy fresh seafood while taking in beautiful sunset views.
The Elephant and Octopus is a cozy restaurant and bar located in an old bank. The atmosphere is terrific and you can't go wrong with the menu.
A casual pizza spot with an outdoor patio. Great spot after a beach day!
Small batch ice cream that has turned this spot into a Cape Charles mainstay.
