The Boardwalk was the best part of our 4 day trip to Virginia Beach. The 28 foot wide boardwalk stretches three miles and features a separate bike path for rollerblading, biking or surrey rentals. Rather than traditional wooden planks, Virginia Beach’s famous boardwalk is concrete. The 59 blocks are lined with quaint benches, Colonial-style street lamps, and nice walking paths.
The Boardwalk also hosts various events and festivals at different points throughout the year, though street performers can be found entertaining passersby most every day. And similar to other Eastern Shore beach destinations, there are many restaurants, souvenir shops, and hotels along the Boardwalk. King Neptune stands tall at 31st Street and overlooks a range of events that occur in the small park surrounding him.
