[quote=Anonymous]Oregon sure has a cult of personality.

My parents live in Virginia Beach, oceanside in the north end (I know, gross according to DCUM).  This is what they, their neighbors and us (when we visit).

Before 10am you can take your dog on the beach as well as surf in the water in the North End (otherwise you have to go down go 5th street to surf between 10-6).  Are the waves huge, no, but there are plenty of local surfers there (my son included).  People will run on the beach in the morning, super peaceful.

All other times you can paddle board, kayak or wind surf (there are tons of wind surfers, where you basically strap a harness to a parachute and have your feet strapped into a small board and just surf on the water and air).  I see so many men and women wind surfers (my friend who lives down there does it almost every day, big problem is only walking back from where you started).  The early morning is the best time to see dolphins.

Anyone can boogie or sand board all day long.

There are two large state parks in Virginia Beach (the one on the bay and ICC and the one that divides Virginia Beach from Corolla).  There is the marine museum, ice cream, the indoor sky diving place, you can charter a boat, you can go on a dolphin tour, you can fish downtown on the pier, you can go crabbing in the bay, rent jet skis, ride your bike everywhere (its bike friendly), etc.

There are plenty of things to do, including water sports.  Oregon doesn't have a "lock" on being water sports people.  GMAB with that.  You can even find tons of sports and other activities in one of DCUM's favorite destinations to trash, Virginia Beach.[/quote]
