Stay along a stretch of quiet Virginia Beach Boardwalk for $59 per night this fall and winter at an oceanfront hotel.

Visit the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Virginia Beach and save 45% compared with current rates for stays through February. For $10 more per night, upgrade to a larger suite with a balcony and separate living area. All stays come with free breakfast and Wi-Fi.

Make up for missed beach time and watch an Atlantic sunrise during the area's mild winter. The humpback whale's migration path makes winter months here the prime time to go on a whale-watching tour.

To see more maritime marvels, head to the country’s largest shipyards in Hampton Roads or hit the nearby Naval Museum and Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center, both are a 25-minute drive from the hotel.

Note: Rate must be prepaid in full and is nonrefundable.
