Broad Bay Island is a waterfront enclave in Virginia Beach where life revolves around the water. Many homes are tucked along Broad Bay and Long Creek, giving residents deepwater access for sunrise paddles, afternoon sails, and quick runs through the Lynnhaven Inlet to the Chesapeake. Public access is close by at the Lynnhaven Boat Ramp & Beach Facility, while slips and services are available at Long Bay Pointe Marina. Onshore, tree-lined streets, bike-friendly lanes, and cul-de-sacs create a calm, neighborly rhythm that feels a world away yet remains city-convenient.
Outdoor time is easy to come by. The bayfront trails and quiet beaches of First Landing State Park invite year-round walks, birding, and family picnics. Fitness and aquatics programs at the Great Neck Recreation Center keep all ages moving, and golfers and boaters appreciate the private amenities at the Cavalier Golf & Yacht Club.
Families prize the neighborhood’s schools within Virginia Beach City Public Schools: John B. Dey Elementary School, Great Neck Middle School, and Frank W. Cox High School, all known for strong academics, arts, and athletics. Commuters can reach major job centers in Norfolk and Chesapeake in minutes, and dining and shopping clusters along Shore Drive offer plenty to explore after hours.
