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.

You only get one chance to make a first impression, so make it count by building your wardrobe from the fine clothing selection available at Beecroft & Bull. Specializing in the finest finery for both men and women, this establishment seamlessly combines style and substance to help you create a customized fashion palette that will surely become your signature look. The store has been clothing some of the area's most prominent figures since 1957 and carries such favorites as Tommy Bahama, Lacoste, and Trafalgar.

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.
