Virginia Beach's average hotel nightly cost is $272 with a 30 percent savings! And we make every cent worth it: Residents of "The 757" already know how awesome of a vacation destination we have here because of what the city and boardwalk have to offer: a theme park, haunted house, arcade, tons of shops for your souvenirs, so many restaurants, miles of boardwalk, and – of course – the beach!
If you're looking for some awesome things to do, Virginia Beach hosts some amazing can't-miss summer events and tons of music festivals to help you get your groove on!
Once you're done jamming out at the beach, head on over to the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater (what a mouthful) to see your favorites like Jimmy Buffet!
In addition to the boardwalk, we have several parks for hiking, The Funny Bone comedian club, plenty of museums, concert venues, popular malls, an abundance of movie theatres, and more ... oh, so much more!
