North Virginia Beach and the northern reaches of Virginia Beach occupy the narrow coastal strip shown here, where the urban grid meets the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape transitions from the residential streets of North Linkhorn Park to the wooded terrain of The Desert, reflecting the preservation of natural areas amidst dense coastal development. The maritime significance of the region is evident in the offshore Cape Henry Channel and the small coastal inlet of Rainey Gut. Major thoroughfares like Atlantic Ave, Ocean Front Ave, and Shore Dr serve as the primary arteries for this resort and residential community, while Atlantic University stands as a notable institutional landmark. The map also delineates the maritime boundary for Northampton Co to the north across the water.
