Historically, Cape Henry, located at the convergence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, holds significance as the site of the English colonists' initial landing on April 26, 1607, preceding their settlement in Jamestown.

Virginia Beach is recognized in the Guinness Book of Records for possessing the world's longest pleasure beach. Positioned at the southern terminus of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, it held the title of the world's longest bridge-tunnel complex until the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge in 2018.

Cayce also established Atlantic University in 1930, dedicated to studying his readings and exploring spiritual subjects, reopening in 1985.

Virginia Beach's signature event, the Neptune Festival, draws half a million visitors to the oceanfront and 350,000 to the air show at NAS Oceana.

The American Music Festival, a Labor Day Weekend tradition, treats festival-goers to live music on stages throughout the oceanfront, including the beach on Fifth Street.
