Oceanfront Inn

Clinton E. Jones Jr. You Will Be Missed By Many
2021-12-05 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York)
Clinton Eugene Jones, Jr., 64, went to be with the Lord on October 16, 2021.
Anyone that truly knew him, knew he had such a big heart. He’d give you anything even if it wasn’t his to give. He could make you laugh even when you were mad, although you never would ever see him mad. Anyone who knew Clinton was touched by his kindness, humor, and mild temperament. He was truly a peacemaker and was always a source of positivity.
He leaves a huge hole in the hearts of his family and friends who were always entertained by his stories and hilarious sense of humor. He truly brought the life to the party. We will all miss him more than words can say.
He loved fiercely and we take comfort in knowing that Clinton is now at peace.

His family held services in his hometown in Tennessee to honor Clinton on Saturday, November 13th.
An intimate Celebration of Life will be held in Virginia Beach on Sunday, December 5th from 2p-4p at The Oceanfront Inn, 2901 Atlantic Avenue Virginia Beach, VA 23451. If you would like to come in town and spend the night, The Oceanfront Inn offers a discounted room rate, please call us at 757-422-0445.

Please share you photos and stories with us here or email to info@oceanfrontinn.com. We look forward to seeing how many people Clinton brought happiness to!

The Chalk the Walk ARTsplosion takes over the Virginia Beach Boardwalk from 10:00am-5:00pm on Saturday, July 11, 2020, as artists and “wanna-be artists” gather to turn the boardwalk into an impromptu canvas of color! Artist registration will be on the boardwalk at 17th Street, and art will be on display between 15th and 17th Streets.
At Chalk the Walk, participants draw four by four-foot chalk drawings for three blocks along the boardwalk.
Here are some ideas to launch your creative thinking:

Your depiction of an ideal world, real or imagined
A place you’ve visited that brings back fond memories
Iconic world landmarks
A place you’ve always wanted to visit

200 competitors will complete chalk drawings to be evaluated by a panel of judges. Judges will score the drawings according to criteria such as composition, use of color, adherence to theme, and creativity. There will be three competitive divisions: Amateur, Professional, and Youth. The Youth division will be for ages 12-16. Children 11 and under will be invited to draw for fun in a separate area. Trophies and cash prizes will be awarded for each division. Winners will be announced at 4:45pm at the registration tent. The hours for the Chalk the Walk are 10:00am-5:00pm.
Our registration tent will be located on the boardwalk at 17th Street.

Clean The Creek
2020-02-15 09:00 - 23:00 | Virginia Aquarium
​Trash that finds its way into the ocean can travel long distances with the currents and winds. Not only can it impact marine life, it also washes onto beaches, is caught in fishing nets and can damage boat motors. Plastic bags and plastic wrap can suffocate marine animals and fish. Birds can easily entangle themselves in plastic six-pack rings and strings. Animals can also get sick or die from swallowing trash, such as cigarette butts. Humans, animals and plants all need unpolluted water to survive.
We’re looking for individual volunteers, families, work teams, and military groups to show their love for our waterways by joining us for a couple of hours to clean by foot or personal kayak. The cleanup will help keep trash and debris from our waterways.

To participate, register by email at aquavols@virginiaaquarium.com or call the Aquarium’s volunteer office at (757) 385-0274 no later than noon on Tuesday, February 11. An itinerary will be emailed to volunteers no later than 5pm on Thursday, February 13.
