The name "Hampton Roads" is a nautical term meaning "protected anchorage" or "a safe harbor." With the east coast's master jet base, Oceana Naval Air Station, situated at the heart of the region in Virginia Beach - including other military institutions in Norfolk (Little Creek, Fort Story, and Dam Neck) - the Hampton Roads community goes beyond the public's expectations of a safe environment in which residents can live. Virginia Beach's Oceana covers nearly 6,000 acres, about 16 times its original size, and employs over 11,000 navy personnel.
As a pivotal part in the success of Hampton Roads, the world-famous Virginia Beach has attracted nearly a half-million residents to create Virginia's largest and most exciting city. Considered one of America's best places to live, Virginia Beach offers the perfect blend of miles of pristine beaches along the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean, an amazing school system, endless recreational opportunities and a booming economy all amidst a moderate climate that is conducive to living the good life.
With the strong military presence and Washington, D.C. nearby, it is no wonder that Virginia Beach and other city's in the Hampton Roads area draws such a diverse crowd. Even so, the area remains a strong community through its countless festivals, performances and markets that take place year round allowing everyone to take in and appreciate the cultural variety among the people of the region.
As the world's largest natural harbor, Hampton Roads has played a vital role in shaping the area's history and economy. From the shores of Virginia Beach where our founding fathers first arrived to Colonial Williamsburg, there are plenty of things to do and places to explore. Ever since the first permanent English settlement was established in Jamestown, Virginia Beach and the other cities and communities in Hampton Roads has grown into a booming area that is perfect for small and large businesses alike, offering more employment opportunities for residents.
While the thriving business world is a major characteristic of Virginia Beach, the region is also very family-friendly. Home to one of the top amusement parks, Busch Gardens Europe, Hampton Roads has a wide array of activities for the whole family to enjoy, from spending a day at the beach to attending a Norfolk Tides game. Virginia Beach offers a wide array of recreational opportunities, including the world-renowned Mount Trashmore Park and Ocean Breeze Waterpark, just to name a couple of the hundreds of options located there. Other recreational opportunities include boating, yachting, surfing, fishing, hiking, tennis, and golf for all outdoor enthusiasts. As a result, the southeastern part of Virginia is known for being one of the healthiest regions of the state.
Though Virginia Beach has so much to offer, if you want to get away for a weekend trip, you can easily drive a few short hours to find yourself amid the cultural attractions of Washington, D.C., on the beaches of North Carolina's Outer Banks, or surrounded by the scenic beauty and ski resorts of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
