Instagram is currently one of the world's most popular social media platforms. Launching back in 2010, the social media app since gained roughly about five hundred million active users and the number is steadily growing ever single day. Recently, the publishing platform Buzzfeed released an article showing what locations in each state were tagged the most on the photo sharing app. Some were surprising, while others not as much. There was Milan Puskar Stadium in West Virginia, as well as the Grand Canyon in Arizona, Disneyland in California, the White House in Washington D.C., Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota, Brigham Young University-Idaho in Idaho, Central Park in New York, Zion National Park in Utah, The Magic Kingdom (from Disney World) in Florida, the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada... and in Virginia? The most popular Instagram spot is the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.
The Virginia Beach Oceanfront is a popular summer and spring break destination of many Virginia natives, and even some non-Virginia natives. I, myself, have even taken part in snapping 1, 2, or 200 selfies, candids, ocean shots and other pictures at the beautiful location of the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. (Your Instagram game moves up a level or two if you stay in a beachfront hotel or house).
Virginia Beach is the best if you are looking to feel the sand between your toes, to catch a wave, to build sandcastles, or apparently to snap Instagram pics. Though I wasn't expecting the Virginia Beach Oceanfront to be the most popular Instagram spot (I'm not sure what I really was expecting), I was pleasantly surprised by it.
Whether you are looking to take a candid, a planned photo, a photo by yourself, or a photo with friends, the Virginia Beach Oceanfront is the the most popular place for you to do so your self exploitation on Instagram in Virginia.
And sometimes, you may even find your name in the sand... unless your name is Charlsley, then you probably will not - instead, you will have to write it yourself and just pretend it was there before (I guess the cat is out of the bag).
Bringing friends or family to help make your Instagram pictures even more fun is definitely recommended.
But really, The Virginia Beach Oceanfront is such a fun place to take a vacation, even if you are going just for a day trip. If you have been considering taking a vacation to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, whether you are in state or out of state, you definitely should come on out to enjoy the water, the fun shops and restaurants on the shoreline, and the memories to last.
