What to do in Virginia Beach

The key to perfecting a downward dog on a standup paddleboard? Patience. The ability to laugh at yourself doesn’t hurt either. And trying it on the calm water of Chesapeake Beach, a remote haven away from Virginia Beach proper, makes it less humiliating. Chick’s Beach, as locals call it, faces the shallow waters of the Chesapeake Bay, offering a low-key alternative to the Atlantic Ocean. The traditional beach-town experience is just up the road at Resort Beach, where tall hotels flank the water and the boardwalk teems with weekenders from D.C. The beaches fill quickly during summer with sand castles, bright towels, and pick-up football games. Though surfing is a staple, standup paddleboarding has exploded in Virginia Beach, with clinics and moonlight tours launching regularly. All you need is patience.
