Discover Virginia Beach and Aviation Museum

Gain an understanding of the history of nearby Virginia Beach before relaxing at the shore, a beautiful stretch of sand with a three-mile-long boardwalk. While browsing the Military Aviation Museum, you will see one of the world’s largest private collections of World War I and World War II-era aircraft, most of them airworthy. A Curtiss Jenny, Fokkers, a P-52 Mustang, Spitfires – they’re all there and dozens more. Exhibits full of wartime motorcycles and military uniforms round out the collection, making for an extraordinary experience. The route to the beach will take you past several Virginia Beach icons, including the seaside King Neptune statue and the Cavalier Hotel, a magnificent waterfront property now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Free time at the beach follows, during which you might soak up the sun, stroll the shop-lined boardwalk and lounge about the coast.
