Discover the Coastal Charm of Virginia Beach

Getting There

• Public Bus

  To reach Virginia Beach from central Chesapeake, start by making your way to the nearest public bus stop. You can use the Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) service. Board the bus route 960 (Express) towards Virginia Beach. The journey will take approximately 30-40 minutes. Stay on the bus until you reach the 'Virginia Beach Town Center' stop, which is a major hub. From there, you can either walk or catch a local shuttle service to the beach area, which is about a 15-minute walk.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer biking, rent a bike from one of the local bike rental shops in Chesapeake. Head east towards the Elizabeth River Trail, which connects to the bike paths leading towards Virginia Beach. Follow the marked bike lanes and trails, which will take you directly to the shoreline of Virginia Beach. The ride is roughly 10-12 miles and can take around 1-2 hours depending on your pace.

• Walking

  If you're feeling adventurous and close enough to the beach, you can walk towards Virginia Beach. Start from downtown Chesapeake and head towards the nearest bus stop to catch a connecting bus to Virginia Beach, as walking directly may not be practical given the distance (approximately 15 miles). Once in Virginia Beach, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the boardwalk and beach area.

• Taxi or Rideshare

  For a more direct route, consider using a taxi or rideshare service like Uber or Lyft. Simply request a ride from your current location in Chesapeake to Virginia Beach. This is the fastest option, taking about 20-30 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Just provide the driver with 'Virginia Beach' as your destination.
