Any Va Beach Local that is frequently at the beach when summer hits will say this is where its at. Less touristy, more chill however the beach area in general continues to add on the the strip, attracting tourists. It worries my friends and me that in the near future, the beach we took for granted often refering to it as our second home, will be overpopulated by unappreciative out-of- towners.
