  • Shore drive to the beach is the most peaceful part of VA beach. On the way back going west, there's a photo of a little girl on a tree who died here years ago. Her family and friends still maintain that spot. Over 70 people have died on this road from car accidents. It's just a straight road, nothing dangerous, just plain ol' human negligence.
