Centrally located on the U.S. East Coast, Virginia Beach is situated in the southeastern corner, where the state of Virginia meets the sea. This popular resort city is just three and a half hours south of Washington, DC, and within a short driving distance to many U.S. cities, making it easily accessible for a third of the U.S. population. Norfolk International Airport serves Virginia Beach and is just a short drive from the oceanfront.
