Free things to do in Virginia BEach

Hi everyone! I’m Kara and I blog over at Happy Go Lucky.  Today I’m sharing fun, free and almost free things that you can do in Virginia Beach.  My husband is in the Navy and we have been stationed here for a little over 10 years.  At fist I wasn’t happy about moving to Virginia Beach but now I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.  There are so many fabulous things to do around here.

Free Things to do in Virginia Beach, VA

1. Virginia Beach

Of course you can’t visit Virginia Beach without hanging out at the beach and swimming in the ocean.  We have become total beach bums!  We go to the beach and the Oceanfront all summer long.  We also love going at sunset.  There is nothing better than sitting and relaxing on the beach with friends and family.  And if you are lucky, you can see the dolphins swim by.

2. Boardwalk

You can also walk the boardwalk and play on the playgrounds they have right on the beach.  This is the best when you have young children.  We can sit and the kids can run wild!

3. Free events in Virginia Beach

Throughout the year you can enjoy free concerts, fireworks, and movie nights at different locations along the boardwalk. Pull up beach chair and enjoy the music while listening to the waves crash and feeling the cool ocean breeze.

4. Pick berries

Another thing we love to do is pick strawberries and blueberries at the local farms in the area.  We can never get enough blueberries and strawberries.

5. Cape Henry Light House

It is always fun to visit the Cape Henry Lighthouse. It isn’t free but for $14 a ticket you can tour and climb to the top of the lighthouse.The view is amazing and definitely worth the money. You must be 42 inches to climb the lighthouse.
 

6. Local parks in Virginia Beach

There are also tons of local parks that you can visit.  A few of our favorites are Mount Trashmore, First Landing State Park and Red Wing Park.  Mount Trashmore used to be a landfill that was turned into a gorgeous park with a lake, playgrounds, walking paths, and skateboard park. Red Wing Park has a beautiful zen garden, a dog park and three playgrounds.

Can you tell we love the beach?!

Thanks, Jamie, for letting me stop by today and share a little about Virginia Beach with you all today.
