Gallop your way to a truly fun outdoor experience when you visit the East Coast Equestrian Training Center in Virginia Beach. Learn from the experts about how to properly ride a horse as well as all the other interesting and necessary information that is needed to ensure a safe and fun ride. And, the center is only seven miles from the closest beach, so you can plan to enjoy a relaxing (and memorable) horseback ride along some of Virginia Beach's most scenic stretches of coastline.

While hundreds of people consider a walk on the beach a romantic cliché, that fact doesn't make the idea any less desirable, especially if the beach in question is Sandbridge Beach in Virginia Beach. This isn't your usual surfside scene. This invitingly secluded stretch of shoreline is a pristine hideaway that features lush dunes and an unforgettable view of the Atlantic Ocean. A perfect choice for a romantic picnic, a meeting at sunset or, if you prefer, one of those romantic strolls along the sand.

Spending a day in the great outdoors of Virginia Beach wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Mount Trashmore Park. Amazingly, this popular park was once a landfill, but since its reconstruction, it now features 165 acres of children's playgrounds and recreational facilities. One of the more popular features is a state-of-the-art skateboard park, but there are also more conventional amenities available like basketball and volleyball courts, two lakes, picnic facilities and trails. Plus, the park is the site of various special events, concerts, and attractions throughout the year.

Tradition is something that the Little Theatre of Virginia Beach is quite familiar with. This group is proud to be the area's oldest continually-operating community theater with 60 very memorable seasons of entertainment behind them! This is a non-profit organization that aims to maintain its mission of providing a quality theater experience at affordable prices. The group stages five big productions a year over the course of its regular season which runs from September to June.
