About North End Beaches
North End Beaches, anchored by popular spots like Sandbridge Beach, offer some of the calmest, clearest waters in Virginia Beach due to their protected barrier island location, making them ideal for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. The area features a quieter, more residential atmosphere compared to the boardwalk's hustle, with wide sandy stretches backed by maritime forests and wildlife refuges that attract birders and nature lovers. The shallow, warm waters and gentle conditions make these beaches particularly family-friendly, though surfers appreciate the occasional swell during nor'easters.
Visitor Reviews
Pros: The beach was really nice, soft sand and a really wide beach. Great place to go for less crowds. There are multiple access points to the beach. Great place to walk the shoreline. Cons: Parking is not the easiest, as most of the parking is only a few spots at the end of the streets leading to the beach. Also no public facilities of any type.
Beauty. Great place to swim lots of parking and so pretty. Much better for locals as tourists should go to touristy downside part. Would definitely recommend and love it so much that you could go there and see the beautiful ocean. I hope you enjoy your trip and visit the beaches.
Beautiful and clean beach. Peaceful place to watch the sunrise.
The North End of Virginia Beach is a peaceful, uncrowded stretch of shoreline perfect for a relaxing escape from the bustling boardwalk. Got some beautiful dunes, soft sand, and a laid-back local vibe, it feels like a hidden coastal gem. Was here the week before 4th of July, and crowd was very manageable. Really only one hotel on this section, mostly residential beach homes.
I really enjoyed this Beach.Pets can come after 6pm and it's truly beautiful here. Parking is a hassle though, You can spend up to 20 minutes looking for a spot..If you get one.Ive seen many not get one and have seen many get towed.It is enforced strictly. But it is a gorgeous spot for sure. Gorgeous
