Virginia Beach Attractions

In the center of the Virginia Beach oceanfront, The Breakers Resort Inn is conveniently located near many of the local attractions in Virginia Beach. Swim, surf or just sunbathe on the miles of beach right outside your back door, or rollerblade, bike or take a long walk along the oceanfront boardwalk. You can find music and entertainment at the boardwalk stage right next door on 17th Street. If it’s fishing you love, The Breakers is just one block from the Virginia Beach Fishing Pier. Enjoy the Atlantic Ocean with windsurfing, parasailing or jet skiing. Or maybe you’d prefer renting a boat, going deep-sea fishing or on an oceanfront cruise. The Breakers is also located near many local golf courses and golf packages are available. Other local attractions include:
