Whether you're hitting the waves at Croatan Beach, hiking the dunes at First Landing State Park, or grabbing fresh seafood at Waterman's Surfside Grille, here are some must-visit spots to add to your itinerary.
Rent the perfect carFirst Landing State Park
This is the site where English settlers first arrived in 1607. This 2,888-acre park offers over 20 miles of scenic hiking and biking trails, winding through lush maritime forests, dunes, and swamps. Kayak or paddleboard through the calm waters of Broad Bay, or set up camp for an overnight stay under the stars. Whether you're a history buff or just looking to escape into nature, this park is the perfect spot to explore if you're looking for Virginia Beach's quieter, more scenic side.
Neptune's Park
For live music, oceanfront views, and a relaxed, social vibe, Neptune's Park is the place to be. Located right on the boardwalk, this park is home to the famous 34-foot-tall statue of King Neptune, a must-see for any visitor. During the summer, the park hosts free concerts and festivals, making it the perfect backdrop for an evening by the beach. Grab a drink from a nearby bar like Murphy's Irish Pub, find a spot on the lawn, and enjoy the mix of music and salty sea air.
Virginia Beach Fishing Pier

Stretching out into the Atlantic Ocean, this iconic pier offers some of the best views of the shoreline, especially at sunrise or sunset. Drop a line to catch local fish like flounder and croaker, or stroll with an ice cream in hand for a classic beachside experience. If you work up an appetite, the pier's restaurant — Ocean Eddie's — serves up fresh seafood with a side of ocean breeze, making it a great stop for a casual meal with a view.

Virginia Beach Boulevard
Virginia Beach Blvd area is the best location to pick up your rental car if you're staying near the town center. The area is packed with restaurants like Reginella's Italian Ristorante, bars like the Old Beach Tavern, and shops in the Lynnhaven Convenience Center, and is a quick drive to both the Oceanfront and its surrounding neighborhood locations.

Top tips for renting a car in Virginia Beach
Now that you've got your rental car sorted, it's time to hit the road — but before you do, it's worth brushing up on Virginia Beach's road rules. While most are pretty standard, there are a few local quirks and conditions that can make all the difference between a smooth cruise and an unexpected detour. Here's what you need to know before you start exploring Virginia Beach in your rental car.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Virginia Beach?
First things first — seat belts are a must for everyone, and if you've got kids under eight, they need to be in a proper child safety seat. Also, don't even think about touching your phone while driving — Virginia's hands-free law is strict, and getting caught means handing over cash you'd rather spend on seafood and beachside drinks.
When it comes to speed limits, don't push your luck because if you go over 85 miles per hour, it's considered a criminal offense. Stick to the residential and business speed limits of about 25 miles per hour (mph) and highways from about 55–70 mph.
If you're near the oceanfront, pedestrians always have the right of way, and if you're visiting in the fall between mid-October and November, keep an eye out for deer, especially in wooded areas. During summer, traffic can get hectic, especially near the beach and boardwalk, so plan ahead if you don't want to get stuck in a sea of cars.
What is parking like in Virginia Beach?
Parking is easy if you know where to go. Your best bets for spots with convenient access to the beach and boardwalk are the 9th Street, 25th Street, and 31st Street garages. If you want to get even closer to the action, try Rudee Loop, the 2nd Street, or the 4th Street lots put you right by the beach.
If you're popping in for a quick stop, metered parking runs along Atlantic Avenue and its nearby streets. During peak summer months, however, parking becomes kind of a competitive sport — especially on the weekends, so plan ahead, snag your spot, and enjoy a day full of sun and surf. Just watch out for residential parking zones and restrictions because nothing kills a beach day faster than a parking ticket.
Are there toll roads in Virginia Beach?
There aren't toll roads in Virginia Beach itself, but if you're venturing beyond the city toward Norfolk or Chesapeake, you'll likely hit a few. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is the main one to look out for, connecting Virginia Beach to the Eastern shore with some stunning ocean views (and a toll fee to match).
If you're taking I-64 Express Lanes, be ready for electronic tolls with rates that fluctuate based on traffic. Some local tunnels like the Downtown and Midtown Tunnels also have tolls, but they're always cashless — so check with your Turo host to see how tolls are handled before your trip.
Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Virginia Beach?
Finding a place to refuel in Virginia Beach is easy! For traditional gas stations, you'll find plenty of options along major roads like Virginia Beach Boulevard, Atlantic Avenue, and General Booth Boulevard. Near the oceanfront, there are a few stations scattered along Pacific Avenue, and if you're headed out of town, it's always a good idea to fill up before hitting the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel as gas stations become sparse on the other side.
EV drivers can find charging stations at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, on Virginia Beach Blvd, and hotels like the Four Points Sheraton. Check apps like PlugShare or ChargePoint to find the nearest charging station so whether you're topping up on petrol or plugging in, your trip in Virginia Beach is hassle-free.
Do I need to rent a car in Virginia Beach?
Absolutely! While Virginia Beach has some public transport and bike-friendly areas, having a car gives you the freedom to explore beyond just the boardwalk, and truly make the most of your trip. Whether you're chasing a sunrise at Sandbridge Beach, heading to First Landing State Park, or a scenic hike, or driving out to Pungo for farm-fresh eats, a car makes it all effortless.
Plus, with so many beaches, breweries, and day trips within easy reach, renting a car on Turo means you can skip the hassle of rigid schedules and do your trip your way.
