Tidewater / Hampton Roads
Twenty-nine miles of Atlantic Oceanfront are accessible on the expanded white sands of Virginia Beach, with its famous wide-paved Boardwalk and numerous free seasonal events, such as the Neptune Festival and Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon. Attractions to visit include, Cape Henry Lighthouses (the oldest, built in 1792), Old Coast Guard Station, Mount Trashmore Park, False Cape State Park, and First Landing State Park.
In Norfolk, where large ocean liners dock at Nauticus, The National Maritime Center, you can see Battleship Wisconsin (with tours given by navy personnel), Hampton Roads Naval Museum, and, next door, the Tugboat Museum.
Further south, see Historic Jamestown, the Birthplace of English-speaking America and where the world will celebrate the 400th anniversary of that town’s founding in the year 2007. Colonial Williamsburg, the nation's largest living history museum, is actually a functional colonial town itself. For families, be sure to visit Busch Gardens Williamsburg Theme Park—voted the most beautiful theme park in the world—and high-tech Water Country USA.
And for golfers, this region is home to some of the best award-winning golf courses in the country. Other great draws to this region include motorsports speedways, wildlife refuges, and convention facilities for groups and reunions. The Hampton Roads region of Virginia continues to draw visitors year after year.
