The state of Virgina offers plenty to do on a family spring break vacation. After all, it's got loads of interactive historic attractions, since its history dates back 400 years to the original Jamestown settlement. And because the state is on the Atlantic coast, it boasts miles and miles of shoreline.

But for vacationing families in March, when kids typically get spring break vacations from school, two particular locations stand out: Virginia Beach and Williamsburg. Here's why:

Virginia Beach

As you'd guess from its name, this coastal city is all about the beach. The local tourism department's slogan is, in fact, "Live the Beach Life!" With 35 miles of waterfront property, Virgina Beach has long been known as a family-friendly "classic American beach vacation" spot. While air temperatures may be a bit chilly in late March -- about 60 degrees Fahrenheit -- that shouldn't stop you from building sandcastles on the beach and dipping your toes in the Atlantic. You'll have plenty of room to do that--the main stretch of beach is 300 feet wide!
