We understand groups want to get out but want to do so safely. In Virginia Beach, your safety is our first priority and our Meet Smarter program brings together a series of protocols for the safety, security and well-being of our community and visitors. We’ve defined the Gold Standard for beach safety and cleanliness, and our network of hotels, restaurants, venues, attractions and services have followed suit with their own new protocols with the same important goals.
Your group can experience Virginia Beach’s attractions safely.
Virginia Beach offers an ideal mix of activities for a wide range of individual tastes and interests, with many options ready to accommodate groups of all sizes.
