Virginia Beach is one of Virginia’s largest resort cities. Tourists from around the world revisit Virginia Beach year after year to soak up the sun where the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay meet. In this photograph, the sun sets near the popular Virginia Beach Fishing Pier, which is approximately 1,000 feet long!
I certainly understand that. I am also an introvert and, sometimes, social anxiety can keep me homebound for weeks. I think the bulk of my problem is how rude people have become in public places. There seem to be fewer and fewer of us left with common courtesies like not screaming curse words out in public around grandmothers and small children… Traffic gets really bad during the tourist season here, especially if you are trying to get to our two major islands (Chincoteague and Assateague). During tourist season, we locals have our own little “out-of-the-way spots that we enjoy 😉 The Mason side of my family (where my surname comes from, my maternal grandfather) is mostly from Little Rock, Arkansas. My mother is currently Amish in Missouri… Oh my goodness, I bet you had a great time running the resort! Arkansas is beautiful. Missouri is a different story, at least the portion I saw while there… I’ll get to Southern California one day. For now, it’s not in the budget lol Sounds wonderful though! I dream of seeing those bluffs 🙂
Amazing shot, that’s very pretty!
Thank you so very much, MommyofEli! This is one of my very favorites.
This place is on my must visit list!
It is an amazing experience, so peaceful 🙂
What a great photo. I love the glassy looking water, it looks like it could be a lake its so smooth.
Thank you, Kim. I’m glad you like it! The beach is so peaceful during the off-season.
The best time of year, right?!!
Your beaches are probably busier than the ones in San Diego area.

Well… The best time of year depends on what you’re looking for when you go. The off-season is the absolute best for great photo opportunities and the ultimate for rest and relaxation. While the summer/tourist season is full of life and fun energy. There is a lot more to do here during the summer because the carnival rides and such are open. The salty air and the excitement all around you is lively and recharging for those who might be feeling a bit “bogged down.”
I don’t know much about the beaches in the San Diego area. Unfortunately, I have only been as far west as Missouri so far. Our beaches are overcrowded on Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day. Other than that, it’s really not so bad.
Are you in the San Diego area?
True, but I am kind of an introvert. I love the off season the best. The traffic can be brutal during the summer time too. I am from San Diego, and live here now, but spent 22 years running a resort on the White River in Arkansas, you had to drive through it to get to the big MO. About So Cal beaches… You have the tourist ones, the easy to get to beaches,they are sometimes packed, then you have the surfer and the beaches the locals hang out at, usually a rough trek down a bluff to the beach. Those are never crowded. Our big ones are also the fourth and Labor day as well.
