Lost Virginia Beach

Lost Virginia Beach by Amy Waters Yarsinske
Virginia beach goers frolic among the oceanfront amusements

In Lost Virginia Beach, the Oceanfront’s Cottage Line, the music halls of Seaside Park and dunes so large they dwarfed the old Cape Henry lighthouse are a vivid memory. Gone too, yet captured for you, are many of the city’s iconic landmarks and open spaces, lost to storm, fire and the relentless onslaught of post-World War II development. With a deft hand and rare vintage images, historian Amy Waters Yarsinske recalls a time when the likes of Chuck Berry and Ray Charles played beneath the sizzling lights of The Dome and locals shagged the night away at the Peppermint Beach Club. Join Yarsinske as she takes one final stroll through a Virginia Beach lost to time.
