Park once at 19th Street garage. Hop the VB Wave trolley straight to the sand. Skip the beach parking fees.
Ride the Tide Light Rail from Norfolk. Step off downtown Virginia Beach. Transfer to the VB Wave. Done.

Common Scams to Avoid
At Norfolk International (ORF), some unofficial "porters" may grab bags curbside and then demand a cash tip far above standard rates. Decline any unrequested assistance and only use uniformed staff at clearly marked baggage service desks.
Taxis and rideshare drivers occasionally take the longer I-64 tunnel route to Virginia Beach oceanfront instead of the direct local roads, adding 15-20 minutes and extra mileage. Use a navigation app to monitor the route and politely ask the driver to take the shorter path if you notice the detour.
Rental car shuttle drivers at ORF have been known to steer travelers to off-site agencies with claims of "better deals," but these locations often add surprise insurance or fuel charges. Stick with the on-airport rental counters or pre-book through a major company's official website.
