While in Virginia Beach, consider visiting the most popular park in the entire state. First Landing State Park is a great place for water activities such as fishing, canoeing, or kayaking while also offering land adventures for those who prefer to stay ashore. Visitors can hike or bike on 9 different trails for a look at the dunes, ponds, and wildlife that abound, but the most popular trail, Bald Cypress Trail, is perfect for those who want a short yet meaningful look at what this area has to offer.
If you are looking for an indoor activity that is sure to delight children and adults alike, head over to the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center for an entertaining afternoon. There are two buildings, the Atlantic Ocean Pavilion and the Owls Creek Pavilion, that are stuffed to the gills with marine life and bird life that are native to the different areas they represent. Catch sight of sharks, stingrays, sandtigers, seahorses, fiddler crabs, egrets, pelicans, and turkey vultures all while enjoying the hands-on exhibits and the IMAX movie for an informative and interesting day.
Staying near the water typically means a journey out to sea for a fishing expedition on a charter boat. Climb aboard with a charter company such as Aquaman Sportfishing Charters for a try at blue and white marlin, wahoo, dolphin, and many other species and come back with a fishing story you are bound to repeat numerous times over. The experience is always memorable with an offshore adventure so don’t forget your camera and come prepared to reel in a big one.
