If you want to get out on the water, which any visitor to Virginia Beach should do, you’re going to need a boat. Buying one might be a little too much for a day trip, which is why the fishing trips offered by Dockside Seafood Market are so awesome. This place has been a Chesapeake Bay institution for decades, and it’s well worth a visit. As you might guess from the name, they do sell seafood here, caught fresh from a number of independent boats that work the Bay. But the real draw here is getting your hands on a pole and catching your own dinner. Their half-day fishing trips are priced for travelers on a budget and you’ll be pulling in fish soon after you leave the shore. They also offer dolphin watch cruises at sunset to catch a glimpse of the elusive, intelligent sea mammals.
