Best Time to Visit Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach extends a kind invitation to guests throughout the year to experience the oceanfront culture, flourishing local dining scene, arts and entertainment, maritime history, and family-friendly attractions.

Whether it’s a little chilly outdoors in December or you feel like cooling off in the surf and sand in the middle of a scorching July, Virginia Beach’s four distinct seasons have something to offer everyone.

Before you continue, it’s important to know when the seasons are in Virginia Beach as they might be different from yours depending on where in the world you’re traveling from.

Does Virginia Beach have good weather?

Virginia Beach has year-round average temperatures that hover around 70 degrees, making it the perfect destination for vacations in the spring, summer, and fall.

 Winter may also be a surprisingly enjoyable travel season because of the milder temperatures, the abundance of events, and the lower prices.

The summertime highs average in the upper 80s, which is similar to adjacent beaches, and the temps stay rather warm.

Summer is usually the greatest time to visit Virginia Beach.

Summer. Simply saying it makes people think of sunblock, visors, tans, and the sun! Not to mention sunburn, sand, surf, seagulls, sandwiches on the beach covered in sand, sugary treats from Boardwalk vendors, etc.

Packing light is crucial for a beach vacation. You’ll mainly need T-shirts, shorts, and sunglasses, after all.

Putt-putt is for the summer. Or, as some people say, mini golf. Many of the miniature golf facilities in Virginia Beach are connected to a water park. 

Experience a minor league baseball game (or two or three). The lovely Harbor Park ballfield in adjacent Norfolk hosts games all summer long by the Norfolk Tides, a Triple-A farm team for the Baltimore Orioles.

In Virginia Beach, the East Coast Surfing Championships are held. Typically, the competition happens in late August. The event is fun even if you don’t surf because there are so many food and drink booths. 

Even if you’re a complete beginner, spending some time strolling around the 1500-foot Lynnhaven Fishing Pier and mingling with the local anglers is a terrific way to pass the time.

Everyone in Virginia Beach agrees that the best thing to do during the summer is to simply relax at the beach.

Enjoying the sound of birds chirping, children laughing, and, of course, jets flying while watching the waves crash on the coast.

Last but not least, don’t overlook Jamestown, which is only about an hour’s drive from Virginia Beach.

The museum, which is located on the site of the first European settlement in the New World, features gallery exhibits, a video chronicling the settlement’s history, and outdoor recreations of the ships that transported the first residents.

Is spring the best time to visit Virginia Beach?
