Pros: A clean destination that's built around family fun with lots to do.
Cons: The nightlife is really limited. Only two clubs and they are small.

I always hear people with a family complain about the traditional beach destinations. Daytona Beach (FL), and Myrtle Beach (SC)are the two biggest East Coast destinations for college aged travelers to meet, great, and party with their pears. Drinking, ...

Pros: The weather. Clean, wide beaches, bike path, no cheezy shops on boardwalk
Cons: Beaches can be crowded, expensive, little nightlife

Pros: Affordable, entertainment for all ages
Cons: A little run down

Virginia Beach probably isn't anyone's idea of a dream vacation, but it definitely has it advantages. I lived about half a mile from the main strip (VA Bch Blvd) during '98 and part of '99. It was a blast. I couldn't of lived in Virginia Bch all of my...

Pros: Clean Beach, Awesome Boardwalk/Bike Trail, and the resort.

My husband and I travel a lot and I have never had a more perfect vacation than Virginia Beach in October. I will detail the sightseeing and things to do in another Epinion. This is focused totally on our lodging.

We stayed at Turtle Cay on...

Pros: Friendly, picturesque, easy access
Cons: Parking, traffic

First, let me preface this by reminding you I am from land-locked, farm surrounded southern Minnesota, so parts of this may sound rather like the country mouse in the big city. But if you can just imagine what I was seeing with these snow-blinded eyes,...

Pros: The Baker's Chicken and Cheddar Sandwich.
Cons: Their chicken salad did not live up to my expectations.

I have found my new favorite lunch spot. Yes, that is right, Baker’s Crust in Virginia Beach is now the place I run to at lunchtime to pick up a sandwich or a cookie.

Baker’s Crust is set in a strip mall, right in the area of Virginia Beach...

Pros: Well...it's a beach.
Cons: It isn't much of a beach.

If your only qualifications are water and sand, Virginia Beach falls short on even these accounts.

I recently moved to Virginia from the West coast and immediately, my friends and collegues here urged me to take in the eastern seaboard, and...

Pros: sunshine and water sports
Cons: at night it turns into "Club City"

Vvvvvvrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm!! The engine was kicking into gear and I could smell the fuel burning as it was injected. I held onto the steering wheel and stood halfway as the waterjet sped forward, leaping above the water and crashing against the waves. We...

Pros: Reasonably clean, friendly people
Cons: "Tourist trap" places near the ocean

I went to the Hampton Roads- Virginia Beach area in late June with my wife for a week's vacation. We were fortunate in having decent weather, although at that time of year air conditioning is very important in both hotel and car. The Virginia Beach...
