Shore Drive Farm Market
The Shore Drive Farm Market is your first choice if you want to enjoy the real taste of Virginia Beach and support nearby businesses. Tucked just minutes from the Chesapeake Bay, this market provides a whole sensory experience of community, culture, and coastal appeal rather than only fresh food. There is something for everyone, whether your interests are in live music and fresh food under the sun or in artisan items and perusing booths. Both residents and visitors love this market for its welcoming environment, range of businesses, and handy location. It’s a weekend custom, not only a location to shop.
