DMV Road Trip | The Ultimate Healing Beach Escape!

🏖️ Virginia Beach 🚗 Just 3-4 hours from the DMV area — perfect for a weekend recharge! 🌊 The beach is clean and well-kept. The ocean breeze is incredibly soothing, and there are tons of water activities. If you prefer to stay dry, you can take a relaxing stroll or bike ride 🚲 (they even have multi-person bikes for rent!). In the evenings, there’s often live music at the square — super chill vibes. There’s also a park with trails nearby, an aquarium, and a water park! 🌅 My hotel room faced due east — watching the sunrise right from the balcony was absolutely magical! 🍸 Dinner at The Atlantic on Pacific A must for seafood lovers! Many say it’s the best restaurant around. A bit on the pricey side, but the food is decent (maybe I didn’t order the right thing?). Parties of 2-3 can’t make reservations — you’ll have to join the waitlist (they’ll text you!). Pro tip: if you don’t mind sitting near the entrance, you’ll get seated faster. The oysters are fresh 🦪 (served in sets of 3). Highly recommend the Baked Scallops! ✨ If you have time, make a stop in Richmond — it’s worth a visit! #VirginiaBeach #DMVGetaway #HealingBeachVibes #SummerAndSea #BeachPhotography #SunriseByTheOcean #BeachLife
