If I remember correctly you don't need to go over any big bridges if you fly into Norfolk. There are two ferries that allow you to avoid that, the Elizabeth River Ferry and the Scotland Jamestown Ferry. One was fairly cheap and the other free. The only drawback was a ride through a fairly seedy part of Portsmouth, but it wasn't that bad.

This will be a bit longer, but if you want to start at the actual ocean it is a way to do that.
