Millions of people have flocked to Virginia Beach. First, Europeans settled
here in 1607 in search of a new life. Today, people come to explore this past,
and for the boundless fun this city offers. For a piece of history, visit some
of the oldest homes in the country, or the first government lighthouse.
A new 3 mi (5 km) boardwalk borders a sandy beach on one side, and lines of

and whales. Wildlife refuge parks promise a variety of animals and miles of
trails for recreational use. Nearly 30 golf courses in the area will keep golfers
