About Virginia Beach Virginia

If you have ever met a native of Virginia Beach, Virginia, which is located in the South Hampton Roads area on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, then you know about the not so stereotypical Southern accent. People who have grown up in the Hampton Roads area have a unique Tidewater accent which sounds different than a stereotypical Southern accent. It’s simply charming, just like the city.
