Who needs Starbucks when you got Duck donuts? In my opinion, Duck Donuts beats Starbucks, hands down! They not only offer donuts, but they also have their own menu of great drinks! A must go to for breakfast when you visit Virginia Beach!

When it is raining outside, step inside the aquarium and enjoy the sea life up close! There's just so much to see  from sea turtles and sting rays, to the beautiful coral reef that is within the tanks. A great family activity for days when the weather isn't so nice!
