Virginia Beach Local Pulse: Oceanfront Curfew Approved, Perfect Beach Weather Ahead
Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Friday, April 17.
We start with a major update from City Hall that affects our nights out at the Oceanfront. Last night, City Council voted 10-1 to approve a temporary all-ages curfew from 9:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. tonight and tomorrow, plus next Friday the 24th. It covers the area from Pacific Avenue to the Atlantic Ocean, Rudee Loop to 31st Street and Laskin Road. This builds on the existing 7 p.m. curfew for unaccompanied minors, all to boost public safety amid recent crowds and disturbances. Exemptions apply for work, hotels, medical needs, or emergencies, so folks heading home from a shift on Atlantic Avenue can move freely. We appreciate Council stepping up to keep our beach safe for everyone.
Shifting to todays weather, south winds blow at 11 to 16 miles per hour with gusts near 27 along Lynnhaven Inlet, under mostly clear skies. No rain expected, perfect for beach walks or outdoor plans, though watch for rip currents if youre hitting the water near the Cavalier. Outlook stays mild through the weekend.
On the events front, gear up for beach soccer action this weekend with teams from around the world competing right on our sands. Check Visit Virginia Beach for tickets and spots to cheer from a boardwalk bar.
No major crimes reported in the past 24 hours here in Virginia Beach, keeping our streets steady. Elsewhere in Virginia, a heartbreaking murder-suicide involving former Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and his wife unfolded yesterday in Fairfax County, but thats far from our shores.
Local schools shine with First Colonial Highs varsity baseball team clinching a 5-2 win over Salem yesterday. And Kellam notched a strong girls soccer victory, 3-1.
New business buzz includes a fresh coffee spot opening on Laskin Road next week, bringing more morning fuel to our east side.
For a feel-good lift, community volunteers just planted 200 native trees along False Cape Park trails, sprucing up our natural gems for family hikes.
