Giant Gorilla When driving along the oceanfront south from Virginia Beach, you can't miss the giant Beach Dude standing in front of a water park with his smiling welcome. He seems to need some fresh paint as he looks a bit tired, but still very large!

Giant Gorilla There is a huge gorilla in board shorts and a hawaiian shirt. He has been burned down a couple of times. When I was little he just wore red shorts. After they rebuilt him one time he had glowing red eyes and was rather scary. Now he has glowing green eyes, which is still freaky.
