For seafood and a view, enjoy Waterman's Surfside Grille, a great place to try out the latest catch and enjoy views of the ocean at the same time.
If you’re looking for family fun, try D-Bat in Virginia Beach. This is a recreational center where you can try your hand at swinging a baseball bat at some pitches. After that, you can end your day at iFly Virginia Beach, where you can experience what it feels like to skydive without actually skydiving. Their high-powered wind machines allow you to experience the fun and thrill of a skydiving jump in a controlled environment.
