Discover the comfort of this mild coastal climate

Get ready to trade desert heat for cool sea breezes and four seasons. Summer highs in VB average in the high 70s while winter lows drop into the low 40s, making it easy to enjoy the Hampton Roads area’s many outdoor activities for most of the year. But be aware that hurricane season runs from June through November and can bring tropical storms that produce gale-force winds and flooding in low-lying areas.

Pursue a top-notch education at every level

Virginia Beach schools are highly rated, both within the state and nationally. With over 50 elementary schools, 14 middle schools and 12 high schools in the district, there is a destination for every interest and discipline.

Seeking post-secondary options? Virginia Beach is home to over 20 universities, trade schools and colleges — including the College of William & Mary, the second oldest college in the U.S. (founded in 1693) behind Harvard University.
