BayPort Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach

About this adventure

The premier coastal holiday tradition in the Mid-Atlantic, Holiday Lights at the Beach transforms the famous Virginia Beach Boardwalk into an enchanting nautical winter wonderland. Families drive their own personal vehicles directly along the paved boardwalk promenade right beside the crashing Atlantic waves. The 2.5-mile illuminated course features hundreds of thousands of energy-efficient LED lights organized into towering animated marine creatures, including leaping dolphins, swimming sea turtles, giant blue crabs, a festive 40-foot Christmas tree on the sand, and a spectacular surfing Santa Claus waving greetings. Vehicles tune into a dedicated FM radio broadcast providing festive holiday music synchronized with the animated displays. It is a completely weatherproof, cozy holiday outing suitable for sleepy toddlers, infants, and multi-generational families. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Enjoyed completely from inside your personal family vehicle driving directly on the boardwalk; boardwalk promenade is stroller-accessible during non-vehicle daytime hours. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Public restrooms with baby-changing tables are situated at 2nd Street and 17th Street parking lots before entering the vehicle queue. • Age Suitability: Delightful for all ages from newborns snuggled in car seats to older kids and grandparents. • Sensory Tips: Low-sensory and low-stress experience inside your temperature-controlled vehicle; car radio volume can be customized to comfort levels.
