Neptune's Park

Enjoyed walking along the boardwalk. Clean, decorated and lit at night for holidays. Always get in a walk after breakfast. Some construction and maintenance on boardwalk and restrooms during off season. Plenty of signs noting next available facilities. Bike path beside boardwalk, though some people ignore the instructions.

The Neptune Statue is a must-see if you're visiting Virginia Beach like we did. It was off the main drag and is right off the walking path. There's a nice beach behind it and several shopping and dining options on the main street. The statue itself is pretty tall with various tones. It made for a fun photo op. I'm guessing it's the mascot of the area.

Very quiet area for a Tuesday morning. Neptune is huge and has many sea creatures around him.

20250411 This is my iconic landmark for VA Beach. This statue is gigantic, and i have been to Virginia Beach the last 15 years, and this statue is holding up perfectly, no imperfections creates by changes in weather and length of time. If you come when the moon is visible, you will see it just to the right of Neptune (see my photos).

The boardwalk is very enjoyable place to visit, to avoid the rush go at sundown, lots of parking with a twist, sign say $10 but when you enter to pay it’s for the first 1 or 2 hour, read the sign or park in the public lots, some have all day for $10, an some meter have 3 hour max parking which is $6 total. Best ice cream is pass the statue on the left hand side. A old fashion style that’s not sweet but worthy the trip

We had such a great time at Neptune's Park! If you're thinking about visiting Virginia Beach, definitely make time for this spot; it's way more than just a photo op with the giant King Neptune statue (though yes, it's as impressive in person as you'd expect). The park is right on the boardwalk, which makes it super easy to get to, and it’s such a nice break from the beach if you want to relax without the sand. There’s live music in the evenings (check the schedule!), and we caught a band while we were there; fun atmosphere, lots of people dancing, families hanging out, and the ocean breeze just made it perfect. It’s very clean, well-maintained, and safe, with plenty of benches and open space to sit and people-watch or enjoy a snack. There were a few food vendors nearby too. And if you have kids, it’s a great place to let them run around while you chill out. One thing we appreciated: it feels welcoming to everyone; locals, tourists, families, couples. You can make a whole afternoon out of just strolling, grabbing a bite, enjoying the view, and taking in the vibe. Pro tip: Visit around sunset; it’s beautiful, and the lighting on the Neptune statue is perfect for photos. Highly recommend adding Neptune’s Park to your Virginia Beach list. It’s simple, but somehow still a highlight!

Love this place the beach is beautiful. But i drive all over the country and Virginia has the worst drivers in the country and that's saying something. Absolutely no clue that you are causing the problem because no one moves over .
