Virginia Beach is the most popular city of the state of Virginia, having the longest pleasure beach in the world, which has been granted a Guinness World Record. Virginia Beach is known as a beach resort, with miles of beaches and lots of hotels and restaurants along its oceanfront. It hosts the East Coast Surfing Championship each year and this attracts surfers from all over the world. This city is also known as a green area, with many parks and several protected beach areas.
But this city has more to offer than just beaches, surfing and sunbathing. You can find several historic sites in the centre, such as the Adam Thoroughgood House, which is one of the oldest surviving colonial homes in Virginia, and the Francis Land House which is a 200-year-old plantation.
Another popular spot in the city is the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center (formerly known as the Virginia Marine Science Museum). This is a popular aquarium near the oceanfront containing nurse and brown sharks as well as stingrays. And don’t forget to view the life-size model of a humpback whale, the sea turtle aquarium and the jellyfish and octopus aquariums. Greenbookings invites you to visit Virginia Beach.
