looking for public beach access to virginia beach
My family & I will be vacationing mostly in Williamsburg in July, but wanted to do a day trip to Virginia Beach & were wondering about public beach access & if there is any place to change?  |

The VERY best place would be all the way down at the end of Sandbridge - at Little Island.
It's not the "strip" and that is the main pro. The con would be that it is a bit of a drive, but I think it's well worth it.
Here is a map of the area.

There are places to change at Sandbridge. If you want a quieter setting, Sandbridge is wonderful. If your family wants the whole boardwalk/shopping/busy experience, the oceanfront would be your best bet. There must be places to change there, but I don't actually know of any since I go to Sandbridge.

There are large bathrooms and showers right there. Plenty of room inside to change. |

There are public restrooms down at the strip, but I'd not use them. The strip is busy and crowded, and just not where I would take my family for the day. For just a few hours of sunbathing and people-watching - sure. But we always prefer Sandbridge. If you want the touristy crowded foul-mouthed (was just at the strip last weekend and the younger crowd was f-this and f-that all around me - constantly) then the strip is fine. |

Sandbridge sounds very nice, peaceful & definitely more our style. Thanks again!
