The classic Drifters song “Under the Boardwalk” is filled with romantic seaside images. You can find those scenarios and lots more when you plan a special romantic excursion to the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. This is the area's newly renovated, three-mile stretch of boardwalk that offers an excellent choice of restaurants, outdoor cafes, shops and entertainment. There are even outdoor music performances and concerts scheduled at various times throughout the year.

The two of you will enjoy escaping the present and journeying to Virginia Beach's dramatic past when you plan a romantic date at the Francis Land House Historic Site. This is a 200-year-old plantation home that has been restored down to the last detail and is open for guided tours and special events. Each room in the house is decorated to reflect the furniture and other items of the period, complete with stunning antiques and reproductions that offer visitors a rare opportunity to peer into how the gentry class of the area used to live.

Virginia Beach's Old Coast Guard Station has an interesting past. It was founded as a Life Saving Station in 1903 and then became a Coast Guard Station from 1915 until 1969. The structure sat idle for ten years and faced demolition but was rescued by financial backers who then turned it into the historic facility that it is today. This fascinating maritime museum not only chronicles its own history with various presentations about the Coast Guard, but it also offers many interactive exhibits and attractions that detail the mission of the brave men and women whose job it was to protect, serve and search and rescue those in distress.
