Sure, it may seem like a walk along the beach with your sweetie might be thought of as a romantic date cliché, but the reason it's a cliché is because it rings true with so many starry-eyed couples. One of the best places to get your feet all sandy amid the sound of the crashing waves is Sarah Constant Beach Park. The area is amazingly calm and offers a chance for the two of you to truly focus on one another as you enjoy a picnic on the beach or just stroll along the seashore as you watch the sunset.

Norfolk's First Landing Park is located by Chesapeake Bay and was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. It has since continued the tradition of providing a natural haven for visitors to enjoy. One of its many recreation attractions is the availability of hiking, bicycle and guided trails that stretch out for 20 miles. The most popular section is the Bald Cypress Trail that is one mile across dunes and ponds. Bikes are only allowed on the Cape Henry trail.

The Lightship Portsmouth Museum tells the story of this retired lightship that was built in 1915 and is now a National Historic Landmark as well as a history-laden maritime museum. The "Portsmouth" was launched in 1916 then went through some reconstruction and was relaunched in 1926. After several years of service as well as collision damage, the vessel was finally retired in 1964. Three years later it was donated to the city and has undergone extensive renovation and repair that has restored this impressive ship to its original glory.
