On the small peninsula known as Willoughby Spit that juts out into three bays, Norfolk's Willough Bay neighborhood contains the stuff of sailor's dreams while offering easy access to the city.

The neighborhood brings numerous rental options to the table, including apartments, condos, and townhomes for rent along Ocean Avenue.
For a good time and good food, residents--especially local sailing enthusiasts--head to Sunset Grill to take in a selection of fresh seafood, a breathtaking view of the water, and live music after the sun goes down. Locals frequent sailboat races and events during the warm months, and the Ocean View Fishing Pier gives anglers a way to relax on lazy weekends.
