60 is the New 40 in Virginia Beach

Age is just a number when you combine relaxation with an active lifestyle: golf, bird watching, sailing, history, fishing, dancing and more.

Day 1

Start With a Breath of Fresh Air

A walk on the Boardwalk sets the stage for your time here, with the ocean swells and salt air providing instant attitude adjustment. Enjoy great coastal cuisine at Catch 31 , where fresh fish and seafood are flown in from docks, boats and farms around the world.

Day 2

Enjoy the Water and the Greens

Spend the morning fishing the surf or ocean kayaking alongside dolphins. Or fit in a round of golf at one of our challenging courses.

Lunch during a luxury cruise on the Virginia's Jewel as you tour natural areas, landmarks and the city's beautiful waterfront neighborhoods. Or spend the afternoon touring the Christian Broadcasting Network and view a taping of "The 700 Club" with Pat Robertson. Evening offers a Little Theatre of Virginia Beach production or a laughfest at The Funny Bone. Savor a multi-sensory experience at Otani , for a sizzling evening of flames, comedy and knife-flashing banter as your chef prepares Japanese cuisine at your Hibachi-style table.

Day 3

Nature Calls

Drive the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail , from Seashore-to-Cypress Loop, for prime viewing of migrating shorebirds and abundant wildlife. You'll reach the Chesapeake Bay-Bridge Tunnel , an engineering wonder of the world. Stop at First Landing State Park , where the first permanent English settlers stepped on the continent.

Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge is home to river otters, white-tailed deer, mink, red fox and turtles. End the day with a world-class music or stage show at Sandler Center for the Performing Arts, and dinner at one of Town Center's culinary choices.

Day 4

Greet the Dolphins

Time for one more unforgettable experience - a Dolphin Cruise or Whale Watching trip from The Virginia Aquarium. These two-hour excursions put you in their natural habitat, offshore where dolphis splash in the warmer months, and whales' migration path follows in the coolest weather. Back on shore, a fine meal by the Chesapeake Bay can be found at Lynnhaven Fish House or Hot Tuna Bar and Grill.
