This week we have been stepping through Coastal Virginia Magazine's Summer Bucket List. Is your calendar full yet? (click here to read part 1, part 2, and part 3)
Check out more of these local activities as we near the end:
19. Trek on down to Old Beach. The reddest tomatoes are just a snapshot into summer’s thriving produce that pour into the farmer’s markets, and Coastal Virginia’s Old Beach Market is a local favorite. You can find everything from gourmet dog biscuits to unique jam and soap as well as fresh flowers and a slice of pie...or two. Grab a breakfast burrito, ingredients for dinner, or just come to enjoy the live music that often lingers in the mornings at the market. Old Beach Market is located in the Croc’s 19th Street Bistro’s parking lot. After Memorial Day until Labor Day, their schedule is every Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon.
20. Catch a sunrise at the Oceanfront, or other local beach.
Nobody really loves waking up early, especially during summer. But there’s something truly special about sitting on the cold sand waiting for the sun to pop up over the watery horizon. Grab a couple coffees and bring your sweetie along for a romantic early morning date, or just go by yourself for some genuine reflection. Don’t forget to bring a bucket so that you can gather intact seashells afterward.
21. Take in an outdoor concert.
June 6 kicks off the annual summer concert series Music By the Bay at Hampton’s Fort Monroe. These free performances take place at the gazebo at Continental Park and allow the public to experience Chesapeake Bay breezes while listening to bands like the Hampton Roads Philharmonic Orchestra and the Virginia Symphony Orchestra.
22. Get out of your comfort zone by taking a class at the beach.
Paddleboarding, wakeboarding, water skiing, kitesurfing... the possibilities are endless, and it’s all available down at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. We’re so lucky to live near enough to a beach to be able to go there whenever we want, and so many of us don’t take advantage of that opportunity nearly enough. So commit to learning a new skill on the water and get yourself out there enjoying the sights and sounds of summer.
