August and Best of Virginia 2026 Issues (including shipping)

Welcome to our WaterLife issue, where we're diving in headfirst, starting with surfing culture in Virginia Beach, already a legendary surf town, now riding a fresh wave with the brand-new Atlantic Park Surf. From there, we follow the water to Yorktown, where the York River carried the tide of the American Revolution. It's part of our continued VA250 coverage—proof that this river town has always known how to make history, and still does. Coastal culture gets a lot of love, but we're making the case for Virginia's lakes, too, from primitive camping to luxurious lakefront living. Get real with Bradley Stevens—widely considered one of the top realist painters working today and an epic talent, who happens to call Gainesville home. And don't miss our toast to the James River Association's 50th birthday, a taste of The Blue Door Kitchen & Inn in Flint Hill, and a reintroduction to The Red Truck Bakery & Café, in Marshall and Warrenton, under its new owners and chef. From the coast to the mountains, the past to the present, this issue covers all of Virginia worth savoring this summer. And then there's the one you've been anticipating: Best of Virginia 2026. More than 100 categories spanning five regions, with your votes determining the Commonwealth's very best. From exceptional resorts to unmissable restaurants, this reader-driven guide represents Virginia's gold standard—chosen by the people who know and love it most. Ready to explore?
