Croatan Beach is an affluent residential neighborhood in the independent city of Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA. Croatan Beach is located south of Rudee Inlet, near the Virginia Beach resort oceanfront. The beach is home to many large oceanfront and inlet -front homes. It is a very quiet and secluded area. Croatan Beach is a popular destination for locals due to the large free parking lot at the south end of the beach as well as the fact that a breeze is almost always blowing. Few tourists come over the Rudee Bridge and the entrance to the neighborhood is not obvious to most. During summer flat spells you will be greeted by surf schools run by the Recreation Center and Hotline Surfboards, which is owned By Gurney Collins a long time pusher. Just north of Croatan Pass Rudee Inlet is the infamous 1st street. The ECSC has been held at this location for 40 years.

Cape Henry Lighthouse

Hotels Close to Cape Henry Lighthouse
The Cape Henry Lighthouse has long been important for the large amount of ocean-going shipping traffic for the harbors, its rivers, and shipping headed to ports on the Chesapeake Bay. It was the first lighthouse authorized by the U.S. government, dating from 1792. It was also the first federal construction project under the Constitution, for an original contract amount of $15,200 (an additional $2,500 was required to finish the lighthouse). See also the "Boston Light" article for more on lighthouse firsts.
In 1798, Benjamin Latrobe visited Cape Henry Lighthouse and described it as "an octangular truncated pyramid of eight sides, rising 90 feet to the light..." The Old Cape Henry Lighthouse is 26 feet in diameter at its base, and 16 feet at its top.
In the 1870s, concerns about the condition and safety of the Old Lighthouse at Cape Henry led to the construction of the New Cape Henry Lighthouse (pictured to the right) in 1881, which stands 350 feet to the southeast of the original. The lighthouse was fully automated in 1983 and remains in use today.
The older lighthouse was acquired in 1930 by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (now APVA Preservation Virginia). A brick lining and an iron stairway have been added to the interior. The lighthouse is open to the public and a fine view can be enjoyed from its observation platform. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on January 29, 1964. In 2002 the American Society of Civil Engineers designated the lighthouse a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
The lighthouses are located in the city of Virginia Beach within the boundaries of Fort Story, an Army base. The Cape Henry Memorial is adjacent to the lighthouses.
The Cape Henry Lighthouses were backdrops for a scene in the 2001 movie Hearts in Atlantis, based on the 1999 Stephen King novel.
