Sixth Oceanfront Reservation

There's nothing ordinary about spending a day outdoors at the park when your destination is Virginia Beach's Great Neck Park. While planning a relaxing picnic lunch on a big blanket is a great idea, there is so much more here to experience. You can enjoy such activities as enjoying a game on one of the many ball fields, shoot hoops on one of the basketball courts, enjoy fun at the horseshoe pits, or enjoy a friendly game of volleyball. The kids will love the large playground areas, and there are sheltered pavilions and restrooms conveniently located throughout the park.

Whether you are an expert at catching fish or are a first-time angler, you will feel right at home on one of the many deep sea fishing trips that are offered by Virginia Beach's Dockside Seafood & Fishing Center. You won't have to worry about getting your gear together or how much bait you have when you let the pros at Dockside do all the work for you. Choose from several tours packages that vary in length but all consistently offer fun and adventure on the high seas!

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.
