Discover the best things to do in Virginia Beach

Book your next family vacation or couple’s getaway at the Country Inn & Suites to stay right off the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. After you get your fill of sun and sand, you can hop on a bike and search for fun souvenirs and tasty treats or make the two-block walk to the fishing pier to angle for bluefish. In need of some fun things to do on a rainy day? Rev your engines on the go-kart courses at Motor World, or visit the aquatic animals at the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center. If you’re in town for special events like Something in the Water (SITW), Patriotic Festival, Boardwalk Art Show, FunkFest, or Neptune Festival, choose one of our hotel rooms or suites to be close to the action.
