Thanksgiving Dinner Options

Colonial Beach Virginia

Colonial Beach Virginia attractions. What's my favorite? It's hard to say, since there are so many to choose from! I found that out after visiting for the first time over ten years ago. I saw the signs pointing towards the town every time I traveled along Route 301 on my way to and from Maryland. One day I decided to follow the signs. I'm so glad I did!

A Favorite Virginia Vacations Spot

This quaint riverside resort town has the second-longest public beach in Virginia and is nestled on the Potomac River in the Northern Neck region, with all it's history, rich heritage and unspoiled beauty.

Catch a glimpse of the symbol of our nation, the mighty bald eagle as they soar overhead and nest here. This area is great for bird watching.

Virginia Vacations

Visit the birthplaces of U.S. Presidents George Washington and James Monroe.

Watch the racing action at Colonial Beach Dragway.

Lounge on the beach, fish from the Pier, paddle a kayak or search for ancient fossilized sharks teeth!

Surrounded by water on three sides and having a variety of marinas, this place is a boater's paradise. There's a public boat ramp in town. No boat? No problem! Try charter fishing or a dinner cruise. Landlubbers can opt for rented bicycles, golf carts or town trolley service to get around.
