Girlfriends' getaway, Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach is the ideal place for a getaway with friends. From flying and paddling to horseback riding and beachcombing, this coastal city has got your girls’ time covered.

Kick off the day with a ride aboard a vintage biplane at the Military Aviation Museum. This bird’s-eye view of the coastline is spectacular–and it’s not every day you get to fly where there’s nothing separating you from the sky.

SUP’ing (standup paddle-boarding) in Virginia Beach is a must. Rent a couple boards and paddle your way through the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Then, round out your day with a horseback ride along the Atlantic. Can you think of a better adventure with your friends?
