Happy New Year from Virginia Beach KOA! Resolve to have more fun and spend time with loved ones. Virginia Beach offers exciting scenery, events and attractions all year round, so now is the perfect time to book your winter vacation with us. Come out for whale watching through March this year. Whales migrate during these few months, which brings tourists to Virginia Beach to catch the majestic event. You can watch the whales right from the coast.

You can even take a boat trip on an excursion off the coast to search for winter wildlife. Humpback whales, dolphins and fin whales are just some of the majestic animals you might see. You’ll be able to get closer than you’ve ever been with a Winter Wildlife Boat Trip. Stop by Virginia Aquarium’s website to set up a sea adventure. Then come home to Virginia Beach KOA and renew for 2016. Start the year off rejuvenated! Call us t
