Description of the flag

The NAVA image at http://www.nava.org/Flag%20Design/City%20Survey%202004/city_flag_photos/VirginiaBeach.jpg and shown in the American Flag Survey (2004) and American City Flags (Purcell, 2003) shows a ~2:3 light blue flag with the city seal centered on it (approx. diam. 14/27ths of the flag height). The seal shows a lighthouse on a seaside landscape background with a cross on the horizon. The edge of the seal is limited by ~40 leaping marlins and a white border is separated from the central image by a wreath of strawberry leaves and reads "City·of·Virginia·Beach·Virginia", from 3:30 to 8:30 o’clock, and, separated by small stars, "Landmarks of our Nation’s beginning", in smaller type; both set in black serif capitals.

See official page about it at http://www.vbgov.com and another image of the seal at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Virginia_Beach_Seal.JPG.
