If you're coming to Virginia Beach for sun and sand, it's easy to get around the city center on foot. Renting a bike, which starts at $9 per hour or $30 per day, is another option. But some attractions (such as Sandbridge Beach and the Military Aviation Museum) can only be reached by car, so consider using another mode of transportation if you plan on venturing outside the resort area.

The VB Wave trolley system – which is operated by Hampton Roads Transit – offers three routes from May to Labor Day or early October. These routes mostly travel along Atlantic Avenue by the boardwalk but also make stops at attractions like the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center. Trolleys generally depart every 15, 20 or 45 minutes between 8 a.m. and midnight, though exact service times vary by route. Fares are paid in cash on board and cost $2 per adult. Each child 17 and younger rides for free when with a paying adult. One- and three-day passes are also sold at waterfront Sunsations retailers for $2.25 to $8 per person.

Taxis are available in Virginia Beach but are one of the pricier ways to get around. Rates are determined by the local government, so you can expect to pay a starting rate of $3.25, plus 30 cents per 1/8 mile traveled (or $2.40 per mile), no matter which company you use. Additional charges may apply for bags loaded or unloaded by the driver. You can also opt to get from point A to point B via ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft.
