First visited by English settlers in 1607, Virginia Beach has been a popular tourist destination ever since. The sea, sand, and sun are the most popular attractions, but throughout history the city has also been known for its unique architecture. The first geodesic dome built in the United States, designed by Buckminster Fuller, was the city's convention center for many years. The Cavalier Hotel, when built in 1927, was the state's largest brick structure. The new Cape Henry lighthouse, completed in 1881, remains the tallest cast iron lighthouse in the country. The lighthouse it replaced, a structure that still stands today, was erected in 1791 and was the first federally funded structure built in the United States.

Simultaneous measurements by Eulerian and Lagrangian methods were made continuously between 30 July and 5 August 1962. The survey zone extended southward along the shore 11.5 km (7.2 mi.) from the Cape Henry Light and offshore for a distance of 1.4 km (0.87 mi.). Three Roberts Radio Current Meter Stations were established along the seaward margin of the zone; five stations were established on shore for longshore-current and wave measurements. Wave heights for the 7-day period ranged between 0.3 and 0.5 m, wave lengths between 14 and 159 m, and wave energies between 6.3 and 553 kg-m/m. Winds were less than 16 mph during the period, total wind movements being greatest from the east and southeast. Shoaling waves made angles with the shore line that should have resulted in a southward longshore current during 48 of 69 observations, on a coast uninfluenced by other currents. Direction of longshore current movement was measured as northerly in 55 instances, owing to tidal and nontidal currents. (Author).

Virginia Beach: Jewel Resort of the Atlantic, takes us back in time to the days when the sparkling resort strip of Virginia Beach drew crowds by the train-full. This new book takes readers back to the days when there were only summer cottages and inns at Virginia Beach. In days gone by, sea breezes and incomparable landscapes created the backdrop for excursionists, and the wild country of Back Bay, Croatan, Sandbridge, and Fort Story was untouched. We follow the development of the resort as it changed to include grand hotels, clubs, nightlife, and watersports. Readers are invited to take a walk on the boardwalk of yesteryear and follow Virginia Beach through World War II and the big band era, to the fabulous fifties and the 1960s, when Virginia Beach formally incorporated as a city.
