Sightseeing

This is a wonderful place to take the kids (and adults)! Enjoy seeing the animals that naturally reside at the beach. With homeschooling in mind, this is a great place to give a lesson on Ocean life, while taking a vacation to the beach!

Hampton Roads is home to many of our military. One of the first things you might notice at the beach is the Jet Noise. This museum is a neat place to see military aircraft up close as they were during active combat in the First and Second World War.

If you aren't a big fan of crowds at the beach. Try a little more relaxed beach over at Croatan. Only a few short miles away from the oceanfront

Can't forget to go walking down the board walking! There are plenty of places to rent bikes to ride or bring your own skates. Many shops and dining options along the way.
