How We Picked

Every pick here is tagged "Restrooms Available" in our directory — a detail documented on the business or place's own website or listing, not word-of-mouth. We pulled every real, currently-tagged listing across every category it applies to (capped here at 15 for a readable list — see the full tagged set via each category page). Details change, so confirm current hours/availability directly with the business before a visit.

The Picks

  1. Beach Garden Park

    An 18-acre surprise a few minutes' drive from the boardwalk: half a mile of paved trail and wooden decking carries walkers over tidal wetlands where herons, egrets, red-winged blackbirds, and osprey are regular sightings.

  2. City View Park

    A sports-first city park on Kempsville Road built around four lighted softball fields and a multi-purpose field, City View Park also includes basketball and volleyball courts and a playground fitted with therapeutic cradle swing seats — an inclusive-play detail that stands out among the city's standard playground equipment.

  3. Croatan Beach

    Across Rudee Inlet from the Resort Strip, Croatan is Virginia Beach's surf beach: the Croatan Jetty is one of the city's two classic breaks, a left-hander locals prize for its unpredictability against 1st Street Jetty's more consistent right.

  4. First Landing State Park Beach

    First Landing State Park fronts 1.5 miles of sandy Chesapeake Bay beach — calmer water than the Atlantic side, backed by dunes and maritime forest instead of houses or hotels.

  5. Kids Cove at Mount Trashmore

    The biggest playground in Virginia Beach: nearly 26,000 square feet of play structures, swings, and climbing features at the base of Mount Trashmore's famous hill.

  6. Level Green Park

    Home to the city's first public sprayground, Level Green Park has quickly become a go-to summer stop in the Kempsville area.

  7. Little Island Beach

    The guarded, facility-backed beach at the south end of Sandbridge: Little Island Park's oceanfront has a 400-foot fishing pier, designated swimming and surfing areas, outdoor showers, restrooms, and seasonal concessions — everything the residential Sandbridge shoreline deliberately lacks.

  8. Little Island Park

    The 122-acre city park anchoring the south end of Sandbridge, and the only full-facility public landing on that five-mile stretch of residential beach: a 400-foot fishing pier, lighted tennis and pickleball courts, basketball and volleyball courts, a playground, picnic shelters with grills, restrooms, outdoor showers, and seasonal concessions.

  9. Mount Trashmore Park

    Virginia Beach's most famous non-beach landmark started as a landfill: opened in 1974 as one of the first parks in the world built on converted waste, Mount Trashmore's main hill rises 60 feet and runs 800 feet long, with a second mound (Encore Hill) beside it.

  10. Mount Trashmore Skate Park

    Virginia Beach's storied skate spot: the bowl-and-ramp complex at Mount Trashmore opened in 2003, was rebuilt in 2007 after a fire, and has hosted pros up to and including Tony Hawk — a legacy piece of the city's deep skateboarding culture.

  11. Munden Point Park

    Deep in rural southern Virginia Beach, 100-acre Munden Point Park sits on the North Landing River — a major leg of the Intracoastal Waterway — and feels more like a riverside county park than anything near a beach resort.

  12. Red Wing Dog Park

    The city dog park closest to the southern beaches, set inside 97-acre Red Wing Park on General Booth Boulevard.

  13. Red Wing Park

    A 97-acre park on the General Booth corridor best known for its gardens: the Miyazaki Japanese Garden — created in 1997 for the fifth anniversary of Virginia Beach's sister-city relationship with Miyazaki, Japan, complete with gazebo, cherry trees, pond, and red bridge — anchors the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, and the Reba S.

  14. Virginia Beach Oceanfront (Resort Beach)

    The Resort Beach is the Virginia Beach most visitors picture: three miles of wide Atlantic sand fronting the concrete Boardwalk, with hotels, restaurants, amusement rides, and the King Neptune statue at 31st Street a few steps from the water.

  15. Woodstock Dog Park

    Kempsville's off-leash option: a one-acre fenced area inside Woodstock Park where small and large dogs play together in a single shared enclosure — worth knowing before you bring a shy small dog on a busy Saturday.
