Virginia Beach offers accessible sandy beach breaks along the longest pleasure beach in the United States, with consistent small to medium waves ideal for beginners and intermediates. The gentle, rolling waves work best during autumn when Atlantic swells wrap around from nor'easters, and the broad, sandy bottom provides a forgiving learning environment. This heavily-trafficked tourist destination means you'll share the water with plenty of other surfers, but the long shoreline offers plenty of room to find a quieter peak.
