King Neptune bronze statue in Virginia Beach[/caption]
One of Virginia Beach’s favorite Boardwalk attractions is King Neptune, a colossal 34-foot-high bronze statue that rises from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean at 31st Street and Atlantic Avenue, overlooking Neptune Park.
The King Neptune statue was built in honor of the Neptune Festival, which is held each September. Volunteers of the popular annual Neptune Festival wanted a statue that honored the festival. They raised private funds and commissioned Richmond artist and sculptor Paul DiPasquale, who designed and created the massive statue. It was dedicated in September 2005.
