I grew up in Virginia Beach. I remember driving past the trash dump and watching all the seagulls flying in to feed. It was so amazing watching as it grew into the only hill in Virginia Beach and a great park.
I used to live there too. In Cali now. Love both places but I do miss those quiet walks on the boardwalk on a sunny day in the winter months. Great therapy for the soul.
I loved there 94-97 when I was stationed there. Hated winters in Va more than Indiana winters. The wind is a killer. Neptune wasn’t there when I lived there
We to visit off season! It's cheaper, and less crowded. We prefer the ocean view room as oposed to sitting on the beach, anyway. And we just bundle up for walks.
I was stationed in Norfolk from 81 to 85 and due to my ships deployment cycle I mostly only saw the area in the Winter. I used to love heading over to Virginia Beach during that time and just walking along the boardwalk and checking out what businesses were still open. There were still a lot of those mom and pop hotels around back then and some stayed open through the Winter, you could get a room for the weekend dirt cheap.
I was just visiting VA Beach in October for the first time since 2017. The one thing I observed is the huge increase in the number of homeless out on the streets. A lot of them were kind of aggressive in their panhandling.
Hardly ever snows but, when it does, it usually melts the next day. City has next to no snow removal equipment, though, so, when it does snow heavy (like once every 5 or 10 years), you're in for a siege, unless it warms up and melts the next day (typical).
So glad this video is well-liked! The trajectory of my channel has radically changed! I will always be grateful for this awesome community! If you want to see what I am up to now... check out this video! th-cam.com/video/i5x69bhSqVg/w-d-xo.html
VB in winter? That's easy: usually cold, windy, gray, and some sort of drizzling rain. Inland from the ocean front, its like any place else in the winter, but the ocean front area is comparatively empty with lots of free space to do whatever. The OF doesn't become a boarded up ghost town--most things are open year-round. There's just no crowds and the weather sux. Lived there for 20 years. April and May are nice, though lots of rain; June is a beautiful month; July and August are nice, too, but the heat and humidity get high; fall is sweet, but between roughly November and early April is mostly raw, weather-wise.
I live on 14th Street going to the liquor store on 30th Street everyday drink a beer on Atlantic avenue Cruise and I miss that gas station motorcycles everywhere

Nathan, are you still doing video's?
Yes I am! Here is my latest one. th-cam.com/video/vvfJGZQaL6U/w-d-xo.html
Great video! There’s never a wrong time to go to VA Beach!

Love it. The beach is beautiful, no matter the season.
Me too! I try and go every 2 or 3 years in mid October and the weather typically great and crowds are not large at all.
It’s been over 12 years since we left and I still miss Virginia Beach. Damn, maybe one day, I’ll move back.
Maybe you should 🙃

VA Beach is so close to the NC border and the Seasons are pretty mild.
There was a time when during the winter, the only place open was Worrell Brothers and a couple of Restaurants. LOL
Thanks for sharing :D I love the beach all the time too, just haven't lived near one (ever). Considering it though!!
No annoying tourists thats why. Enjoy it!!!
Much love, from Richmond, VA🤙🏽💙💜. I love VA Beach 💕
ME TOO!
Thanks for sharing I'm from VA bch right on birdneck

I went there for the first time in years back in July 2022 and I agree the homelessness has increased dramatically!
I loved Virginia Beach in the winter back when I lived there....1997.
I am dead
I always wondered..Cool
This was great. I am going tomorrow!

I can confirm this
Makes me miss Virginia Beach.
I feel like you walked right out of my apartment building in the beginning 😲
LOL who knows... maybe I did.
It only snows there a little bit ❄️❄️❄️🌨🌨🌨
True. The past couple years we’ve gotten basically nothing.
Looking to move there mid-spring or so
So glad this video is well-liked!

How is it around christmas? I'm think of going
Hi Shintill. I was thinking of retiring out in that area. Is Sandbridge beach a nice quiet place? I love the beach, but not the crowds as much...
Sandbridge is very very nice. There is a little tourism there in the summer but it is nothing compared to what you would expect at the beach.
Thanks lots. :)
Thank you for sharing your experience
Why is it so quiet
No tourists. Lol

I live on 14th Street going to the liquor store on 30th Street everyday drink a beer on Atlantic avenue Cruise and I miss that gas station motorcycles everywhere
