Destination Virginia Beach: Timeshares for the Family
June 3, 2008

With 35 miles of waterfront property, and plenty of timeshare resorts situated up and down its coast, Virgina Beach, has long been known as a “classic American beach vacation” spot. As you’d guess from its name, this coastal city is all about the beach. The local tourism department’s slogan is, in fact, “Live the Beach Life!”
You’ll have plenty of room to dip your toes into the Atlantic during a timeshare vacation at Virgina Beach – the main stretch of beach is 300 feet wide! When you’re not sunning yourselves, making sandcastles or frolicking in the waves, visitors of all ages can spend their time along the oceanfront boardwalk, a 28-foot-wide concrete path that winds its way three miles along the beach. A distinct foot path makes it ideal for strolling, running, rollerblading and biking.
If you visit Virginia Beach anytime between January and March (perhaps during your children’s spring break), consider a whale-watching cruise with the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center. On an afternoon tour, you can learn why the amazing, mammoth creatures swim so close to the Virginia shores, and what’s being done to protect them. Afterwards, tour the Virginia Aquarium to get up close and personal with harbor seals, sharks and sea turtles.
For still more family fun, play 18 holes of mini-golf, hit the giant water park, go crabbing, kayak with the dolphins, take a deep-sea fishing cruise or climb to the top of a lighthouse. And when it’s time for a break from the sunny outdoors, you can visit an indoor rock-climbing gym, sign your children up for cooking classes or play a game of laser tag inside a multi-level arena.
