Virginia Beach Planning Strategies

To prepare for your visit to Virginia Beach, there are many webcams to view actual weather and what’s going on the week you are traveling. For live webcams of the boardwalk, try Waterman’s Restaurant and piers www.vbbound.com. To check on fun events, including free concerts on the beach, check out www.vbnightlife.com.

And don’t forget social media. The VA Beach Facebook page (www.facebook.com/virginiabeachvirginia) has more than 35,000 fans, and you can often find out about specials, promotions, and other events.

Here’s another tip: there are kiosks on every block filled with magazines. Make sure to pick up a Sunny Day or a VB guide, filled with maps and ideas for excursions, food, and events. They contain coupons for almost everything: percentages off, free gifts with purchase, or double time with rentals. You have to know about the coupons: vendors don’t offer them to customers.
