Virginia Beach is made for outdoor parties. Here is how to do hibachi right in VB.
Best spots
- Backyards and patios in Kempsville, Great Neck and Red Mill.
- Rental houses near the Oceanfront and in Sandbridge.
- Decks at Chic's Beach for the bay sunset.
Rentals
Check your rental's rules for outdoor propane grills. Put the address, parking notes and door codes in your booking.
On the sand
Beach rules on open flames vary and some spots need a permit. Most beach parties end up on the deck or driveway instead — same ocean air.
Busy season
Summer weekends and holidays book up. Aim for 3–4 weeks ahead, more for July 4th and Labor Day.
Weather
Your chef cooks rain or shine — plan a covered spot like a patio, garage, carport or tent.
