Va Beach Vacations are BEACH PLUS! 

Virginia Beach Vacations are BEACH PLUS!   with Busch Gardens and Williamsport plus historic Jamestown all within an hours drive. Throw in Norfolk and fantastic Navy Yard tours and NASA at Langley and you have area vacation area.

When you plan your vacation at Virginia Beach or to vacation in the Virgina Beach area, you must truly plan your week or two because there is such a wide variety of choices of things to do.

Our personal best plan for vacationing in this area is first to look into timeshare rentals in Williamsburg and book one. Once you have vacationed in a timeshare you'll be spoiled and not want to go back to just a hotel. Both Fairfield and Sunterra have abundant accomodations and you can almost always find a rental at Williamsburg except for the Jul 4th weekend and Christmas. For those you must reserve very early.

A great Virginia Beach area vacation could have you staying at a cabin at Virginia Beach, but you also have choices of high rise condos at Virginia Beach right on the shore line.

We personally like a nice mix of activities and so our favorite Virginia Beach area accomodation is to stay at a Williamsburg timeshare and make this our base. We may just "chill" there the first day, then the next day tour Historic Williamsburg. Be sure and book a reservation for an evening meal in a colonial restaurant and do it early in the day. The next day may be spent on the golf course with the kids around the pool. Antiquing in Williamsburg could fill the afternoon.

Now on day three, it's time for the beach, and it's into the car for about an hour's drive. Be sure and check out a beach with a bath house and place to shower and change, and be sure and bring the suntan lotion. Don't forget your Va Beach Beach Toys and souveniers!

After a day at the beach you are relaxed, and you might spend your next day at the Busch Gardens theme park! This is a real gem and be sure and plan ahead and get your Busch Gardens Discount tickets at available locations such as the concierge desk at your timeshare rental.

After Busch Gardens, you might be "beat" so it's time for a slow day. One of the most enjoyable days we've had is touring old plantations. Plantation tours come in a variety of sizes and can range from an independent tour where  you drive yourself to the plantation and take as much time as you'd like, to taking a structured guided tour. Again, ask you concierge for information or visit the Williamsburg Visitor Center where you might also pick up discount admission cupons.  If you are "on your own" and willing to drive a little, then head on up to Richmond and beyond and take in Monticello. It's worth it.. and could be a full day trip.

After that day, you're maybe ready for just another day of relaxation at the pool, but your next active day will be to visit and study Jamestown. While in that part of town and afterwords, take the inexpensive ferry over to one of the restaurants on the other side.

Vacation isn't over, because you have not been to Norfolk yet! Visit a battleship; take a harbor tour of the Norfolk Harbor, preferably on one of the true sailing ships. Visit the McArthur memorial and if you are a home schooler you have a lot to log in for education!

The week is nearly over and we haven't e ven mentioned shopping in Williamsburg yet! So many things to see and buy including gourmet cookbooks and Americana history items.

You'll say this WAS one of the best Eastcoast vacations you've ever had!
