Dams Neck Naval Air Station. Life here blends the rhythms of a secure military installation with the easygoing pace of coastal living. Anchored by the oceanfront Dam Neck Annex of Naval Air Station Oceana, the area offers quick access to miles of sand and surf for sunrise runs, low-tide shelling, and cast-from-the-shore fishing. Nature lovers can spend weekends paddling through the quiet waterways of Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge or hiking the dune trails of False Cape State Park, just south of Sandbridge Beach.
Families appreciate a strong school network through Virginia Beach City Public Schools, with popular programs in STEM, visual and performing arts, and career and technical education. Higher education is nearby at Tidewater Community College’s Virginia Beach Campus, and hands-on learning awaits at the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center. Aviation buffs will find weekend inspiration at the Military Aviation Museum, while outdoor time is easy to come by thanks to the city’s extensive park network managed by Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation.
Whether you’re active-duty, a military family, or simply drawn to a quieter stretch of coastline with quick city access, Dams Neck offers a rare mix of mission-focused community and seaside recreation. If you’re considering a move, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with a local real estate pro who knows the area inside and out.
