Virginia Beach, VA

Virginia Beach is located on the Atlantic Ocean coast of southeastern Virginia, 15 miles east of Norfolk, VA. It is the largest city in Virginia by population and forms part of the "Tidewater" area. One of the reasons for the city's large population is that in 1963 it absorbed nearby Princess Anne County, VA, which dated back to the start of colonization.
