VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) —The end of summer is upon us, and where is the prime destination this Labor Day weekend? None other than the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, with another rush of visitors to the beach.

"Probably more crowds, more people, which is nice," said tourist Kelly Hayes. "It's really great to meet new people, see where everybody came from and just hang out."

Whether you're a tourist or resident, it's no surprise it's a popular holiday destination along the coast. That's why families like the Hearns say they make the drive down from New Jersey.

"It's cleaner than Jersey," said tourist Valerie Hearns. "I would rather come here than go to the Jersey Shore. Although I grew up in Jersey, I prefer the speed and semi-warmness of Virginia Beach."
