Within the Hampton Roads area, U.S. 60 follows a coastal route along Chesapeake Bay from Willoughby Spit and Ocean View in Norfolk and from Ocean Park and Fort Story in Virginia Beach. U.S. 60 lines Pacific Avenue south to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.

U.S. 60 once followed Virginia Beach Boulevard (U.S. 58) east from Downtown Norfolk to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. The east end of U.S. 60 was marked at the south side of the Rudee Inlet Bridge until the 1970s. Thanks in part to efforts from the Road Warrior at the Virginian-Pilot, an end shield was eventually posted.1
