After Labor Day weekend, dogs are able to enjoy the Virginia Beach Boardwalk and the city’s public beaches. They’ll love getting to run along Virginia Beach’s miles of coastline.
Pick Your Own Pumpkin
When you visit Virginia Beach, head south to Pungo—the city’s agricultural community. Pungo is known for its “you-pick farms.” Throughout the year, you can browse and pick your own locally grown fruits and vegetables to take home or back to your hotel.
