Culinary travel continues to be a key driver for Canadian visitors, and Virginia Beach is ready to serve.

Alongside its welcoming coastal vibe, the city’s dining scene is earning attention for fresh, local flavours and memorable experiences.

“Food is such an important part of travel, and Virginia Beach offers the chance to truly taste the destination,” says Nancy Helman, director of the Virginia Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau. “From waterfront dining and chef-led restaurants to oyster farms and a growing craft beer community, there are endless ways for visitors to connect with our culture through cuisine.”

The Oceanfront is the city’s culinary hub, where casual boardwalk bites meet innovative kitchens serving fresh, Atlantic-caught seafood. Visitors also can head to Town Centre and discover neighbourhood cafés, international flavours and independent eateries. Paired with live music venues, festivals and markets, dining becomes part of the full Virginia Beach experience.

Advisors also can spotlight added value through the 2025 Loonie Savers Pass, which includes restaurant discounts designed specifically for Canadians.

Free to download at VisitVirginiaBeach.com, the pass makes it easy for travellers to save on dining and other activities throughout their stay. With new attractions like Atlantic Park, the Super Girl Surf Pro festival, and the created-in-Canada Jackalope action sports festival adding to the calendar, advisors can position Virginia Beach as more than a beach escape.

It’s a destination where culinary adventure, culture and coastal relaxation come together, giving your clients every reason to return hungry for more. For more information, visit here.
