Where to stay:
Stay downtown and enjoy the waterviews! Hop on the water taxi to explore downtown Portsmouth, or hop on the highway to enjoy any of the 7 cities in the area. We stayed there on our wedding night and received excellent service.
Stay at the Virginia Beach ocean front and enjoy waking up to the sound waves and 'gulls. The boardwalk is just steps away, and plenty of restaurants are within walking distance.
The Founders Inn & Spa is lovely and very hospitable. The surrounding campus of Regent University is also beautiful and stately. When we ate at the Founders Inn after my graduation, the food was delicious. Sunday brunches are the talk of the town. Head to the spa for a little extra luxury.

Interesting bits of military history.
Well curated museum and interesting collection.

This is so great! Thanks for the tips!
We're originally from California but we've been loving Hampton Roads. Colonial Williamsburg is a favorite spot! Highly recommend the area, especially for fall honeymoons. Hot as heck in summer! :)
