answer:Here is a list of universities and colleges in Virginia. The closest ones to the beach are the ones in Newport News, Hampton (not Hampton-Sydney), Norfolk, and possibly Williamsburg (but it’s pushing it.) That leaves you with five, possibly six choices. None of them are a few minutes away from a beach. As for which ones offer field hockey, these do: Christopher Newport University, William & Mary, Old Dominion, and Virginia Wesleyan College. If you are willing to forego the beach, there are plenty of schools in Va. that have a field hockey team.
