Chicks beach was my local spot, shallower water in the bay means warmer water temperatures! 👍

I love fort story! The beach is quiet and away from the busy ocean front. Truly a gem!

The two best kept secrets of Virginia beach imo are shore drive, and Pungo in general. Shore drive has some very nice beaches, but they are locals beaches, so if you go, you must be respectful, and quiet. Some of the best farm to table, and seafood restaurants can be found along shore drive. Also, there's the lynhaven river, which offers some of the best kayaking in the area. Pungo is a great place if your into berry farms, wine, pumpkin patches, and farm stands.

4:29...Visited last year with my wife and daughter to celebrate her 7th birthday. We sat outside for dinner just before dusk under a magnolia tree, and all was going well until the snake showed up.

My wife lost it!

Ah don't give away all of our secrets to the touries!!! Lol some of these are amazing!!! Born and raised beach girl! Been here almost 35 years!!

Add the live theaters, museums, farms, farmers markets, shooting ranges, and festivals! A great place for the entire family. I loved raising my kids here

Thank you for the great video… I met you and your son at Carrabbas Restaurant on Veteran’s day Nov 2022. Enjoyed a few of your videos today.

For restaurants the locals know, I would add Chicks Oyster Bar near the mouth of Lynnhaven Inlet, and Rudees on the north side of Rudee Inlet. And another interesting spot is the old Cavalier hotel. The history of that hotel is very cool, with so many famous people from the early 1900s staying there, ghosts and a famous suicide from the top floor (or was it a suicide?), etc. It has been renovated and is beautiful now.

I live right next to the strawberry festival and it is the worst traffic ever

[jcurney]

U spilled the beans with Baja Cantina, hidden gem for sure

[freefallat]

I grew up in Hampton. But spent a ton of time on the southside.

I live off of sandbridge road. Glad you mentioned fallscape as there is a place called wash woods down there. Probably not going to talk about it on here, because most locals do not even know about it.

Lollys ice cream on 17th Street is the best! The “Narrows” on 64th Street is one of VBs best kept secrets, calm waters, lots of hiking trails. I didn’t even hear about The Narrows until after I had lived here 10 years. Perfect spot for SUPs, Kayak’s and boaters too

Where should you go if you're visiting?
Pungo Pizza has been around for a long time and makes excellent zas.
Aviation Museum is just....awesome. They have warehouses of meticulously kept and displayed aircrafts, treaded and wheeled vehicles, tanks, artillery, small arms, uniforms, the whole 9-yards!
Strawbridge Farm has a petting zoo and a bunch of seasonally appropriate children's activities like a hay-ride and strawberry/pumpkin/xmas tree/whatever picking.
The aquarium IS dope. Ocean Breeze IS kinda fun. Motor World IS an alright place to spend 2 hours. All three are pricey and told in order of fun>cost ratio. These are our more famous attractions but they deserve to be mentioned.
Munden Point is a nice little tucked-away park deep in Pungo and has some remarkable swampy ravines that you can paddle through. There's also camping and children's activities there.
Mary's Kitchen is one of, if not the oldest breakfast diner at the oceanfront and offers a fantastic American breakfast for very little. If you want an affordable plate of eggs, hash browns, bacon and toast then you should check this place out. The decor is classic and donated by locals, especially surfers.

I'm a local and I wanted to check your video out to make sure I knew of these secrets places... lol! I haven't been down to the beach in a while and I didn't know of the Vibe District.."where have I been"... lol! So thanks for the update, I'll be sure to check it out! 🙂

[timothypatterson]

Well Captain George's off laskin road one of the best restaurants down there

[ember_games]

another place thats really fun to go to in VA Beach is Woodstock skate park

[vx]

Town Center is also very nice with ample free parking everywhere (even the parking garages are free) and plenty of eating and shopping spots.

@LivingInCoastalVirginia Love the video, I was a local 20 years ago and can remember all of these places that you mentioned. Lol, and my thought on Mt. Trashmore was like “what the heck” I literally lost it. People playing on a mound of trash🤣, however definitely beautiful place. I thought of something that locals know that tourist don’t is how to properly pronounce Norfolk 🤣, the first time I said it after moving from NY I was laughed at as I said “Nor-Folk” and they said yep you definitely aren’t from VA. Lol, I quickly learned. Again, thank you for your videos and all the information you share. Can’t wait to move back “home”!

[DEEDEEEason]

Enjoyed the video! I'm heading back to VA BEACH. Can't get enough of it.
