The Best Uncrowded Beaches in VA and Where To Stay

Are you looking for a fun coastal getaway? Virginia is an excellent choice, especially if you are looking for less crowded beaches.

Virginia Beach's famous Boardwalk draws plenty of visitors, though the area also features many secluded parts of the shoreline. Enjoy an isolated oasis where you can spread out and breathe easy. Explore this list of the top uncrowded beach vacation destinations in VA.

What Are the Best, Least Crowded Beaches in Virginia Beach?

Here are some of the best Virginia beaches, offering calm waters, open shorelines and room to relax:

1. Sandbridge

When you want the pure joy of sun, surf and sand, Sandbridge is the perfect area. This secluded beach is located further south along the oceanfront. Tucked along a quiet residential strip, just one small road leads to this spacious coastal community.

Sandbridge is known for its gorgeous vacation homes, impressive wildlife and pristine beaches. It is a popular site for sunbathers and surfers alike — so, do as the locals do, and head to Sandbridge.

2. Chic's Beach

Chic's Beach offers serene bayfront views. Pronounced "Chick's Beach," this bit of Chesapeake Bay shoreline features calm waters and soft, lapping waves. Fill your beach day with swimming, paddleboarding or lounging as your pup runs through the surf. 

This shore sees less action than the famed Boardwalk, providing a tranquil, hidden-gem feel. Its popular seafood restaurants offer some of the best eats in the area.

3. First Landing State Park's Beach

Located within the beloved local state park, this sandy stretch of Chesapeake Bay remains relatively uncrowded most of the time. Enjoy a soothing beach vacation, even when summer is in full swing.

With calmer, shallower waters than the Atlantic Ocean surf, this beach is ideal for parents seeking a peaceful experience with their kids. Plus, the park features tons of trails that introduce you to the region's unique mid-Atlantic habitat.

Why KOA Holiday Makes Your Beach Trip Easier

This KOA Campground is just a quick shuttle ride away from the beach, letting you skip parking altogether. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the VB Wave trolley stops right at the campground gazebo and runs to the Oceanfront.

This campground puts you 2.5 miles from the Boardwalk, close enough to reach the sand and escape when you want to unwind. Cool off in the lazy river, splash in the heated pools and let the kids burn energy on the jumping pillow. Explore all the campground amenities to see what else this site has to offer.
