Visiting a Landfill & Boardwalk in Virginia Beach

Published 2024-04-23
Being camped only a couple hours from Virginia Beach, we just had to make a day of it and get over to the ocean. We walk across the boardwalk, see dolphins, visit some shops then head into the city where we try an amazing milkshake and visit a landfill. YES! We will be visiting a landfill. We think it's interesting and had to share it with you all. Hope you enjoy this day of exploration. #travelvlog #virginiabeach #thingstodo #virginia #boardwalk #landfill

    What a beautiful place to be sitting in peace and quiet nothing but the sounds of ocean and nature I love itโคโค
  • Love that Neptune statue and all the details. Donโ€™t ya just love a beach day. Nice memorial and sculpture. Aww! Yall saw dolphins. Yum! That ice cream. Cool painted steps to the park.
  • Very nice!!! Water was calm and clear looking!!! I have a brother that lives around that area. He retired from the Navy in Norfolk. Love the old VW bus. It did look very empty for Virginia Beach. That is cool that they turned the landfill into a park. Have a wonderful day my friends!!!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š

    Like 23! Love this video! We used to do VA Beach when we lived in Northern VA! It has been over 15 years! Thanks again! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

    Cool statue!! Youโ€™re making me miss my hometown and the beach! What a great re-use of an old landfill! Good exercise getting to the top๐Ÿ‘
  • What a great place to visit. Love the beach and the dolphins. So many great shops to check out. Can't even imagine trying to see them all ! Those steps were quite the work out. Great views above everything. I so enjoyed seeing the beach the most ๐Ÿ˜Š
  • You picked a good time to go there and avoid the crowds. That cheesecake sundae looked great. Turning a landfill into a park is pretty neat.

    Love Virginia Beach! That Neptune statue was really cool. Loved you guys saw some dolphins too. That was a lot of steps... Lol! Thanks for taking us along with you. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š
  • We've been there in the busy season. It's so peaceful now! The dolphins were amazing! I guess you also found another place to "fill" your time! It looks pretty good now, but it used to be a real dump! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

    I too enjoy watching dolphins off the shore. I also LOVE watching pelicans fly by. In fact after spending a lot of time by a beach Pelicans have become my favorite bird. I love being at the beach during an off-season time, so there isn't many people. I saw the military jet in the video. That area has so many navy and air force bases. I sang that like Anna, from Frozen, "Do you want to ride the ferris wheel?" Mount Trashmore? I love it. I always call landfills "Trash Mountain." I think it's cool that repurposed the trash dump.
  • We were at Virgina Beach 30 years ago while We were stationed at langley AFB at the time. Nice to see Neptune has weathered the time well. The dolphins are still there too - Some things never change! Thanks for the Video - brought back good memories for us!
  • @JohnVillamorVlog
    Wonderful beach nice to see your video my dear thanks for sharing.
  • I love Virginia Beach. I have not been there in a few years. Nice video captures of the dauphins. Great views of the sea, beach and boardwalk. This brings back great memories for me. Thanks for sharing with us. Have a nice week.๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

    Very cool seeing the dolphins in the water. Enjoyed the walk on the boardwalk with you. Too bad so much was closed. That milkshake looked mouth watering.
  • So nice. I have never been to Virginia Beach. Loved seeing you walk on the beach, show us around the town and see that amazing milkshake. It's hard to believe that area was a former landfill. I mean it has no trees, but looks neat how it has those stairs and is all covered with grass.
  • Gorgeous area!! It's so cool sporting the dolphins!! Kayak there so you can touch them would be an amazing experience
