Finding a more perfect beach than Virginia Beach for tweens would be pretty hard to do. Family friendly but not sleepy, and lively but not crazy, Virginia Beach has things to do that entertain and keep tweens active. For starters, there is a three-mile-long, 28-foot-wide boardwalk that is perfect for bike riding and rollerblading. Right up the street from the boardwalk, on Atlantic Street, are scores of souvenir shops selling beachy gifts and cute t-shirts. There is even an old-fashioned funhouse and a house of mirrors nestled among the shops and eateries. Here's my list of must-do in Virginia Beach with tweens.
