I got an opportunity to celebrate 4th of July 2013 with great friends at the famous Virginia beach, VA. Virginia Beach is a resort city with miles of beaches and
hundreds of hotels, motels, and restaurants along its oceanfront. Although best
known for its tourism but the military and agribusiness sectors contribute
significantly to the city's economy. Tourism produces a large share of Virginia
Beach's economy. With an estimated $857 million spent in tourism related
industries, 14,900 jobs cater to 2.75 million visitors.
The city is listed in
the Guinness Book of Records as having the longest pleasure beach in the world. The 35-mile coastline is comprised of Virginia Beach resort area, the Chesapeake Bay beach, and Sandbridge beach. It is located at the southern end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, the
longest bridge-tunnel complex in the world.
