Fresh Blue Crabs in Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach is one of the few cities that borders both the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay — giving it access to two distinct crabbing ecosystems. Watermen from the city's Lynnhaven Inlet and Back Bay areas work the coastal tributaries, while the wider Hampton Roads region has direct Chesapeake Bay access. Fresh blue crabs from Virginia Beach waters are known for their Atlantic-influenced flavor and are celebrated by a local seafood community that takes its crabs seriously.
