Lights at the Beach

via HamptonRoadsVisitor.com
Every evening from November 22 through December 31, the Virginia Beach Boardwalk will be transformed into a magical display of busy elves, musical crabs and festive fish that sparkle against the velvety night sky. This annual attraction, called Holiday Lights Merry Mile, this year sponsored by BayPort Credit Union, brings holiday spirit to more than 25,000 families who visit it during Christmastime each year.

As you drive through the display, you’ll see snow globes and a giant castle, as well as fish that appear to swim above your car. And of course, Santa and his reindeer always appear in lights. In addition, you can tune your car radio to a frequency to listen to yuletide music. Once you experience this pleasure, you’ll understand why the American Bus Association included it in their list of “Top 100 Events in North America for 2011.”

Admission is $10 cash per car. Hours run from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. nightly. The main entrance is at 2nd Street.
