I guess I'm a bit biased from living around here, but I dont care for Va beach all that much. Way too crowded, nowhere to park. Beach will be swarmed with jelly-fish before very long. Nightlife is full of drunken morons.
It may be crowded also this time of year, but I would head for the Outer banks area of N.C, before Va beach.
Feel free to stop by and say hello, If you get serious about coming through i'll send my address.
