Sandbridge Beach
Sandbridge
A quiet beach community about 25 km south of the city, known for holiday houses and wide sands. It is less crowded than the main seafront and suits families and surfers.
Sandbridge lies in southern Virginia Beach, between the Atlantic and Back Bay. Almost all the accommodation along the coast is rented holiday houses, with no high-rise hotels, so the atmosphere is far calmer than around the boardwalk. The beach is wide and often popular with surfers. On the bay side to the west, you can kayak and watch the sunset. Little Island Park has public parking and changing facilities, and parking costs a fee in summer. Sandbridge is the gateway to Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, so the two can easily be visited together.
