Taking the Bay Bridge Tunnel in one direction is worth the effort. 26 mile water crossing can be beautiful at the right time of day, Beaches on the Eastern Shore are beautiful as well, and not nearly as crowded as other areas. Chincoteague /Assateague island for both the National Wildlife Refuge (with their wild horses) and Wallops Islands NASA facilities are interesting, and it's basically on the way.

I grew up in Va Beach, The Virginia Marine Science Center, is interesting, for a campground First Landing State Park is nice, the KOA is at the south end of the tourist areas near the Marine science center, its not on the beach.
Most locals tended to go to either Sandbridge which is 10 miles south of the tourist areas, or down to the Outer Banks.
Personally I love the NC beaches, cleaner, less crowded, and you have the Wright Memorial, learn to hang glide at kitty hawk kites, the Lost Colony Show in Manteo, and several light houses to visit.
