Sure, there were almost as many jellyfish as there was sand (OK not that much) but for the most part, the beach was a pleasant and more importantly, a clean experience.

It’s a jungle out there. That’s what people tell me anyway. At Jungle Golf, Virginia Beach’s family friendly mini-golf, it’s exactly that. Plastic tall animals are all over the place (my picture above doesn’t do it justice), and it’s really a kick for the kids. The place is an 18-hole jungle-themed course that also [...]

I’ve never been to Venice. It’s the one place in the world I’d have to say is smack dab #1 on my bucket list so to speak. For one night anyway, I got to envision what it must be like in that romantic Italian city. without having [...]
Tautog’s a pleasant surprise
By Alison Helena
This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Located in between Atlantic and Pacific Avenues, the restaurant is set inside a 1920’s beach cottage in Virginia Beach’s strip so if you’re not looking for it, you might just pass it by. To the point: look for it. It’s definitely worth it albeit [...]
