Hop On a Trolley
Why hassle with traffic and parking when there’s a Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) Beach Trolley headed your way? From the North End of the beach to South Rudee Inlet, and everywhere in between, HRT’s Beach Trolley is convenient, fun way to get from place to place. It’s the way to go should you want to shop at Virginia Beach’s premier mall, go hot-dogging down a water flume at a theme park, visit the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Center or First Landing State Park, or check out a concert at the Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheater. For more information about HRT services or the special regional tours, call (757) 222-6100 or visit www.gohrt.com.
Beach Access for the Disabled
Access via ramps for the disabled are located at every beach access from 1st to 58th Streets. Wooden ramps that extend all the way to the water's edge are located at 8th and 17th streets. Handicap-accessible wooden walkways that extend from the boardwalk to the water are located at 8th, 17th, 24th, and 30th Streets. Designated disabled on-street parking is at Rudee Loop, 2nd, 6th, 7th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 20th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 33rd, 34th, 36th, 37th and 38th Streets.
