It's paved and clean. If you want sun, you have walk on it before noon, since in the pm the buildings block the sun. It's very comfortable, and you can watch all the activities out on the beach, etc. Convenient to all the major hotels and restaurants too. More

The Va. Beach boardwalk is beautifully kept. Clean, lots of benches, nice bike rentals (not pushy, good prices), gorgeous views, streets are well labeled. More than wide enough to accomodate the foot traffic even on the busiest of days. The busy shopping action is on Atlantic Avenue, the next street back, so you can enjoy a walk or ride, and... More

I usually go to Va. Beach at least once per year. The boardwalk has always been a nice clean family place during the day. I don't go at night due to the fact that I never stay in the hotels there. I love it when the fighter jets fly over! You are very close to the Oceana Naval Air Station... More
