    Along any street in town you will see many boxes like these, Grab What's in Them! There are many good coupons to be had, maps of the area and trolley services. These are great sources of information and discounts. We always pick these up and always save, find some thing to do that we didn't think of or a good place to eat that is close by.

    All long the boardwalk and around the town you will find many places to lock up your bike safely. The town can be covered by bike if your healthy or not, just take your time, stop lock up and shop or eat. Then your on your way again, no waiting for a trolley, bus or taxi.

    Great bike path
    by tpangelinan
    All long the boardwalk there is a really nice bike path that is only for bikes. This makes traveling up & down the boardwalk on a bike very enjoyable and fast. It goes from end to end and there are many places to lock up and go do what ever you want.

    As this is a military installation and the beach is used by them it is not accessible to the public, but there is a pathway leading to view the beach area.
    Here I am sitting in the shade of the pergoda in a bit of shade with the new lighthouse in the background.

    Once you are in town I would suggest parking your car and using the Wave. You can find lots like this for only $5.00 These lots are located near shopping and everything else.

    Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth and Suffolk are known as Hampton Roads or south side. The cities -- Newport News and Hampton, that lie across the James River and over the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel are known as the north side or the peninsula.

    Take a walk, bike or rollerblade down the boardwalk. Great place to people watch. There is entertainment all along the strip during the week.On Friday and Sunday nights at 10PM there are fireworks over the ocean at about 14th street.

    Love ocean the most. Will real miss the beach, boardwalk and all the things to do. Being there one week, we really didn't get to see and do everything.
