    • At Cinema Cafe, you can buy dinner and watch a movie while you eat. This Cinema Cafe plays movies that have already been out a while though, so it's cheaper than going to the regular movies. Plus, Tuesdays and Thursdays are $1 nights!

    by bugalugs
    The bridge I assume was built with part tunnels to allow the many ships to pass through. There are battle ships, nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, cruise and cargo ships that pass through here daily. There are plaques describing the ships and their names. This channel is called the Thimble Shoal Channel.

    Storm at the Pier
    by Goner
    Virginia Beach has a lovely beach. A railed walkway runs along it's edge for several blocks. The restaurants along the walkway have large window seating which makes it an enjoyable dinning area, day or night. I'ts not unusual for the beach to loose it's sand, as it did in the hurricane this year, but the sand will be hauled in and the beach will be replaced to be enjoyed once more.

    It's popular with the young crowd in the summer making it somewhat over populated.

    Great Bridge 10 33 2 Visited three times on our way north via the Virginia Cut and once by car.

    Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge 3 10 0 which we cross through every time we go down the Dismal Swamp Canal.

    Hampton 23 80 5 This was the 4th stop on our trip south in the fall of 2000 and is mostly about Fort Monroe

    Newport News 9 61 5 (Mariner's Museum)

    Tunnel
    by bugalugs
    The bridge was opened in 1964 and consists of part bridge and part tunnels. There is a shop, cafe and also fishing piers on the bridge.
    The price for one way is $12 but you can return within 24 hours (showing your one way ticket) for another $5 which is what we did.

    You can fish from the fishing pier 24 hours and there are restrooms, fish cleaning stations, and weighting stations.

    You can see on the map the interstate 13 going across the sea is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

    Williamsburg is unique as there has always been a town in this location. The buildings have been maintained and give you an accurate account of it's history. As you wander around the town you'll see it's residence dressed in historic costumes some driving carts and wagons of long ago.

    There is no charge for walking the streets and admiring the buildings and visiting it's many shops with crafts, candy and of course tourist items.
