A sunny day spent strolling the boardwalk is tops for pure, unadulterated summer fun
Virginia Beach
It may be made of concrete instead of wooden planks, but besides that, Virginia Beach’s 3-mile-long boardwalk is as traditional as it gets. For daytime fun, rent a standard bike or a family-friendly contraption built for four and take to the bike path that runs parallel to the beach; come nightfall, the onset of summer welcomes Virginia's music season, which means live entertainment by big-name music acts – past acts have included the Beach Boys and the Virginia Symphony – on weekends. Don't worry, there's plenty to do after dark during the week as well: Nearly every night you’ll find street performers, musicians, magicians, and more, busking on the boardwalk, free of charge.
