Virginia Beach Surf & Rescue Museum

Amazing to see the 1930's paddleboards!

So fun! Nikki and Mark were knowledgeable and held the attention of both my 6&12 year old while still giving us the history. They even played a LONG game of Jenga with them! Wonderful place and wonderful people!

Wonderful collection of artifacts and exhibits from Virginia Beach’s extensive maritime history. A must-see for anyone who appreciates maritime and rescue history.

Having the privilege to visit this museum during off season I had the honor to receive a tour from Ms. Dana Sizemore Executive Director.
Dana brings a small town museum of a time past generation to whimsical life as she captures the time frame of the erra wonderfully.
Believe me, its definitely worth a stop and will be remembered long after another enjoyable day at Virginia Beach.

An awesome free museum with an array of Virginia and Coast Guard history of the area. The staff was nice and gave great additional information as well. I loved the ghost stories. They are pet friendly and had a bowl of water out front for my guy to get a drink on the hot day. The rocking chairs were also a great addition to take a break while talking to the staff.
