Little Neck Road Trail

sidewalk trail

July, 2024 by aldo_desalvo

basically a sidewalk trail but the path is shaded and much safer than the road

Wright Brothers Multi-Use Path

pleasant and accessible

May, 2024 by susan.wisely

An ideal picturesque walk for those needing a smooth surface and benches. Docks and water on one side and beautiful large houses with manicured lawns on the other.

Cape Henry Trail

Good trail, but it needs better signage

March, 2024 by born2bchilanga

The trail itself was great for our hybrid-tire bikes, and a good length. The problem is that it’s crowded with walkers, dog walkers, and joggers, many of whom don’t know how to behave on a shared-use trail. There is not a single sign about trail etiquette anywhere.

Suffolk Seaboard Coastline Trail

Perfect place to practice longboarding/skating

February, 2024 by drew.jones10

I went on a Wednesday around 1:00pm so there was no one there. The trail is perfectly paved and plenty wide.

Suffolk Seaboard Coastline Trail

The trail path is paved. This would be a good trail for training to do longer trails on a road bike. It is a safe, clean, and beautiful trail through nature. The trail is approximately 3.5 miles from end to end per my "igsport IGS360" bike computer.

Lynnhaven Parkway Trail

this is just a sidewalk

September, 2023 by laurie.ohlstein

There’s no trail, the crosswalk infrastructure is minimal and the buttons to cross don’t work

General Booth Boulevard Trail

Most stressful ride ever!

August, 2023 by reburgess1234

The sidewalks were in disrepair, the trees were hanging too low, the traffic was unbelievable and heavy. Not one cross walk signal worked. We felt in danger most of the ride! This was a one and done for us! Prefer the Beach Boardwalk area a million percent over this madness!

Birdneck Road Trail

This is a nice wide trail, many shady lengths. Plus it connects to General Booth and boardwalk if you want a longer ride. Yes you have to cross the Atlantic and Pacific to get to boardwalk but that did not dampen our enjoyment.

General Booth Boulevard Trail

disappointed with the General Booth

July, 2023 by browncow55

we brought our tandem to VA Beach as we do for all of our beach house family vacations. we have been disappointed in VA Beach-area cycling in general and this trail in particular. there was only a mile or so of recognizable "trail." the description says it runs parallel to the road and that is apparently because it's a sidewalk; and a narrow sidewalk at that. there was a good bridge connection to the boardwalk trail which was THE highlight.

Elizabeth River Trail (Atlantic City Spur)

Don’t Recommend…

November, 2022 by jksjm1

Very stressful trail! Terrible signage, MANY street crossings, some closures, rough in many parts.

Norfolk Avenue Trail

short trail.

August, 2022 by aldo_desalvo

Connects bird neck road path to the oceanfront. This is an old Norfolk slither rail trail. Currently there is about 7 miles that remains unused. There is a new light rail at the end

Lynnhaven Parkway Trail

side of the road trail.

August, 2022 by aldo_desalvo

A way to ride and not be on the the road
