There's a big misconception that the only things to do in Hampton Roads is Colonial Williamsburg and Virginia Beach. Although there are an array of attractions in the other cities and counties in between, there's a bigger myth that after Labor Day, the Beach is dead until the first blossoms of spring. False. Just because the only people brave enough to enjoy the Beach in the off-season are die-hard surfers and the swimmers during February's Polar Plunge, doesn't mean there's nothing else to be experienced in Virginia Beach.
