Virginia Beach's best oceanfront hotels sit right on the pedestrian-friendly boardwalk, with lots of shops, restaurants, and cafes within a few minutes' walk. Some hotels are a stone's throw from Neptune Park, the de facto center of the boardwalk, where bands perform nightly during the high season, while others are located on the boardwalk's quieter northern end (good choices for those looking to avoid the crowds). If you want to stay right on the beach -- whether in the middle of the action or further removed from the frenzy -- here are the best beach hotels in Virginia Beach.
