Virginia Beach, Virginia's largest and newest tourist attraction, King Neptune, is a colossal bronze statue on the Boardwalk of 31^st and Atlantic Streets. This impressive representation of the sea god Neptune was designed by Richmond sculptor Paul DiPasquale. The bronze piece was cast in China and was then assembled in Virginia’s resort city to help bolster the tourism industry there. Whether or not it actually helps increase tourism in that region is uncertain, but what is certain is that it is a beautiful work of art.
