Virginia Beach's Broad Bay area is home to several popular recreation trails that offer an extensive view of the many natural amenities of the area. These include cypress swamps, forested dunes and the shores of Broad Bay.

Without a doubt, the First Landing/Seashore State Park is Virginia Beach's crown jewel attraction. This National Natural Landmark draws more than a million visitors a year, and with good reason. As the state's most popular state park, the area features facilities for such fun activities as hiking, biking, camping, fishing, boating, crabbing and swimming. The facilities for camping are top notch as they include a camp store and laundry facilities. The park was established in the 1930s, and also is noted for being the northernmost point at which temperate and subtropical plants coexist. The park also features handicap accessibility and offer cabin rentals.

You can't visit Virginia Beach and not experience the sights, sounds and tastes of Hot Tuna Bar and Grill. This is one of the area's premier nightlife spots for great food, great fun and great entertainment. Both the food and drink menus are extensive and feature the best seafood and steaks as well as imported beers that will satisfy appetites (and thirsts) of every size. Plus, the venue offers the best live bands and DJs that play the best Top 40 music. There's never a cover and you can always find plenty of free parking in close proximity to the fun.

There are predictable dinner theaters and then there's the out-of-bounds entertainment that you and your family will experience when you are in the audience for Angelo's Murder Mystery Dinner Theater.

The characters variously include audience members to help solve the mystery, often leading to amusing results. The performances are all family friendly, so make it an evening out for the whole clan.
