Winter Fishing Tournaments

Massive schools of rockfish, also known as striped bass, lure anglers to Virginia Beach during the winter months in Virginia Beach – in fact, they are so abundant, Virginia Beach is known as the “Striped Bass Capital of the World.” From November through January, Virginia Beach hosts three striped bass tournaments where anglers compete in hopes of catching some of the largest striped bass on record.

Embark on a
Whale Watching Adventure

Every winter just off the Virginia Beach coast, humpback whales can be seen diving, breaching, spyhopping and lobtailing, thanks to the food-rich mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and warm Atlantic Ocean waters. Virginia Beach’s whale watching packages starting at just $77 per person, offer exceptional value for an extraordinary adventure.
