"Life Saving Museum" Top 5 Page for this destination Virginia Beach Things to Do Tip by grandmaR

When I planned the trip, I noted on the map that the Life Saving Museum at the Old Coast Guard Station (formerly the Life-Saving Museum) was in Virginia Beach right on Atlantic Ave. We got there about 9:15, but it was not open until 10, so I took some pictures and then we went on.

I thought it was sad that it was completely overshadowed (literally) by the tall hotels on either side.

This is the only existing station in Virginia with exhibits on shipwrecks and rescues. The role of the Coast Guard from the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II to the present day is chronicled
