Food Porn: Virginia Beach

There’s only one draw bigger or equal to the beach in Virginia Beach – the food. 

The Chesapeake Bay is the nation’s largest and most biologically diverse estuary, producing more seafood than any other estuary in the country. That alone makes dining as much a part of the culture as surf or sand.

Whether you’re in search of fresh, briny, spicy, or sweet treats, Virginia Beach is coastal cuisine at it’s finest. Don’t miss local delicacies like Lynnhaven River oysters, striped bass “rockfish,” soft shell crab, and she-crab soup. With the great majority of restaurants offering waterfront views, every night becomes a special occasion meal. And with literally hundreds of restaurants, it’s safe to say you won’t go hungry here. To get you salivating, here are a few of our favorite dishes from standout local Virginia Beach gems.
