Atlantic Park Virginia Beach, USA

Hold onto your surfboards, Virginia Beach, because Atlantic Park is about to make waves, literally and figuratively. In the middle of this year, the city’s most anticipated surf and entertainment precinct is finally opening, and it’s looking to be a game-changer. We're talking about a $500 million investment to transform 17 acres of prime beachfront real estate into a sprawling, surf-tastic haven.

There’ll be pristine waves on demand; who really needs to rely on Mother Nature when you can have a world-class, artificial wave pool built to your exact specifications? So, whether you're a pro trying to impress everyone around you with your sick moves or a beginner simply trying to stand up on a board, this high-tech setup promises consistent waves, perfect for every level of surfer. No more waiting for the perfect swell, just show up, strap in, and ride the wave.

But this place isn’t just about surfing. Oh no, Atlantic Park is bringing the fun in more ways than one (we love a rhyme). Expect live music, beach bars, high-end eateries, and yes, even a few Insta-worthy spots to snap pics that’ll make your friends jealous. The whole shebang is designed to be a non-stop party on the sand, with an emphasis on outdoor fun, wellness, and seriously cool vibes.

All of this means Virginia Beach might just become the new epicentre for surf culture in the USA unless, of course, you’d prefer to keep waiting around for a wave that might not even come somewhere in Cali. Yeah, we thought so.
