At Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay, the idea of vacation-style living doesn’t end on Labor Day.

Tourists have to go home. You are home.

There are resort style communities up and down the east coast, but just one right on the beach in coastal Virginia. If you’re a seeker of the active lifestyle, you can swim, sail, take walks along the shore, and play as many rounds of golf as you’d like. If you crave peace and tranquility, you don’t have to look far. It’s peaceful and quiet here—as long as you don’t mind the ospreys and herons that might greet you from above.

Life at Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay means choices. Your choices. Head outside year round to take advantage of everything each of the four seasons has to offer. With our gorgeous beachfront, you can enjoy a unique active lifestyle in Virginia Beach of sunset walks along the beach, yoga or tai chi while listening to the waves crash, and even paddleboard sessions with your new neighbors who quickly become your friends. Take in a round of golf at the nearby golf course, or throw your fishing line for some relaxation. And don’t forget the level of joy that comes with enjoying the views of the Bay every day of the year. Beachfront living. Mild seasons. Local shopping and amenities. Life your way. Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay has everything you are looking for, multiplied.
