The Beautie Corner

Norfolk's connection to the United States Navy is quite obvious when you visit the city. But nowhere is it more vividly brought to life than at the site of the USS Wisconsin. This is the last U.S. Battleship to be built. The impressive vessel has enjoyed a colorful career that includes being employed in three wars over 50 years. Relive the details and see some fascinating attractions when you visit the ship's museum.

Satisfy your need for an aquatic adventure when you visit Lake Drummond. Plan a picnic on the shore or wade in for a swim or some fishing during the warmer months of the year. You can also enjoy such activities as hiking, biking, and hunting. Plus, you can enjoy a scenic walk along the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail which stretches for a mile along the edge of Dismal Swamp. This scenic body of water is the perfect backdrop for a great afternoon outdoors just relaxing or enjoying a great day out with the family.

If you're looking for someplace to enjoy a drink that's a little off the beaten path, then find your way to Cogans Pizza. Although the nightlife venue is small, it is packed with a large measure of individuality. There's cutting-edge music coming out of the speakers and the crowd is most definitely eclectic, too. A great place for a glass of wine or a mixed drink, it is also a prime spot for checking out the always colorful crowd. And speaking of color, don't miss the impressive selection of local art that covers the walls.
