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 some 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!
