Buoy 44 Seafood Grill
Buoy 44 Seafood Grill is a seafood restaurant in Chic's Beach, Virginia Beach, located at 4536 Ocean View Ave. Casual bayfront seafood grill on Chic's Beach with a waterfront deck overlooking the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel — try the bacon-wrapped scallops.
Buoy 44 sits on the Chic's Beach shoreline with a waterfront patio deck and panoramic views of the Chesapeake Bay and the Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

Lynnhaven River NOW Oyster Roast
May 1, 2027 · annual (first Saturday in May)
Lynnhaven River NOW's signature fundraiser turns the waterfront lawn at the Brock Environmental Center into an all-you-can-eat oyster roast, marking the nonprofit's multi-decade push to bring the Lynnhaven's namesake oyster back from near-collapse. Roasted and raw oysters pulled from the restoration reefs anchor the spread, backed by barbecue, local beer and spirits, live music, and a shucking contest, with proceeds funding the group's oyster-reef and water-quality restoration work. It's a rare chance to eat Lynnhaven oysters within sight of the reefs that grew them, at a bayfront green building a few minutes off Shore Drive.
