Avalon Hills: Indian River Rd and Regent Univ Dr
Built around a 19th-century oceanfront resort, Virginia Beach grew into an independent city on the Atlantic coast of southeastern Virginia. Indian River Road and Regent University Drive lie in its inland urban area, away from the resort shoreline but within a city extending from the Atlantic Ocean to Chesapeake Bay. Residential districts, commercial corridors and military installations spread across the former Princess Anne County. At Cape Henry, the Cape Henry Lighthouse was completed in 1792 near the point where Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic. Virginia Beach also incorporates the long-established communities of Kempsville and Pungo, giving its urban area a broader character than the oceanfront alone suggests.

Among the regions of the United States, Virginia stands out for its sweep from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay. Its varied terrain includes the Shenandoah Valley, the Piedmont of the central counties, and a long Atlantic-facing coast. Richmond, on the James River, is Virginia’s capital and a major centre of American Civil War history; farther east, Jamestown was the site of England’s first permanent settlement in North America, founded in 1607. Shenandoah National Park and its Skyline Drive trace the crest of the Blue Ridge. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Virginia.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
