🎨 Cherry Stoner Puff & Paint Nights
📍Cherry Stoner Studios (240 Melinda Place, Virginia Beach)
Looking for the ultimate creative high?
Cherry Stoner’s Puff & Paint nights are the heartbeat of the local stoner community. Way better than a sip and paint, these 21+ experiences are designed to help you spark your creativity and reconnect with your inner child in a judgment-free zone.
We provide the canvas, brushes, and a fully guided glow-in-the-dark painting session—all you need to bring is your favorite herb and an open mind.
Unlike a typical stiff art class, sessions are held in an intimate, 420-friendly blacklight studio where “mistakes” are just happy accidents—and you won’t be painting the same basic picture as other paint night venues.
It’s a space to unwind, laugh all night, and let go of perfection.
We also offer private group events and private date nights 💘👉 Tap here to learn more or book your spot
Pro Tip: These nights sell out fast—check the Events Calendar to snag a seat.

🌊 Hippie Hill (a.k.a. First Landing State Park)
📍 Near 64th St & Baltic Ave, Virginia Beach
This isn’t the official name—but locals know.
Technically part of First Landing State Park, this hidden beach access feels like a secret escape from the crowded Oceanfront.
The entrance is tucked between houses at the end of 64th Street. Follow the long road until you hit the park entrance—it’s about $7 to park for the day, but you can come and go. At the end, it opens up to:
peaceful shoreline
nature trails
way fewer people
There’s a special area known as “Hippie Hill”—you’ll know you found it when you see a weather-worn tree painted with messages of peace and love. It’s the perfect place to ground yourself, chill out, and just exist for a bit.
Pro Tip: If you plan on hanging for a sunset —bring bug repellant, you'll thank me later.
⚠️ Note: Smoking is not allowed in state parks—be mindful and respectful if you wanna risk it.
💘 Planning a Date Night?
Here’s my guide to 420-friendly date ideas in Virginia Beach 👉 🌳❤️🔥Best 420 Friendly Date Night Experiences in Virginia Beach
🌓 Half Moon Music (Hippie Vibes Near the Oceanfront)
305 16th St, Virginia Beach
Half Moon Music is a groovy little shop near the Oceanfront in Virginia Beach—total hippie heaven.
They’ve got tons of Grateful Dead merch, unique artwork, and a tie-dye selection that’s honestly unmatched. You’ll also find plenty of accessories and other one-of-a-kind treasures you didn’t know you needed.
Pro Tip: If you’re standing at the counter, look to the left—there’s a circular rack featuring items made by local artists. Definitely worth checking out (support local 💚).
⚡️ ViBe Creative District (Street Art Extravaganza)
📍 19th Street Area, Virginia Beach
A short walk from the Oceanfront, the ViBe Creative District is packed with over 60 murals and creative installations. My personal favorite mural is by local artist Danny O (check it out near Yorkie’s on Cypress 👀).
It’s a playground for artists, free spirits, and anyone chasing inspiration.
Take a walk through after a smoke sesh and you’ll see:
bold murals
local vendors
unique shops

farmer’s markets
