The Virginia Beach Coastal loop via Virginia Beach Boardwalk offers a delightful and accessible stroll right along the oceanfront. You'll enjoy continuous, expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean, with the wide, well-maintained boardwalk providing a smooth surface underfoot. Keep an eye out for the majestic King Neptune Statue and the bustling Fishing Pier as you soak in the vibrant coastal atmosphere. This easy 4.8-mile (7.7 km) route, with its negligible 41 feet (13 metres) of elevation gain, is perfect for a leisurely outing, taking about 1 hour and 56 minutes to complete.
For planning your visit, the boardwalk is easily accessed from numerous points along the Virginia Beach oceanfront. Parking is generally available in nearby lots, though they can fill up quickly during peak times. To experience the trail at its most tranquil and potentially witness a spectacular sunrise or even dolphins, aim for an early morning start. Be mindful that the boardwalk can get very crowded, especially in summer, so adjust your pace accordingly.
What makes this trail particularly notable is its exceptional accessibility, making it a fantastic option for families, those with strollers, or even wheelchairs. The boardwalk features a separate paved lane for cyclists, helping to manage the flow of different users. You can also connect to other trails, like the Cape Henry Trail in First Landing State Park at the northern end, if you're looking to extend your adventure beyond the urban beach scene.
