Books on Colonial Beach

Colonial Beach has been written about and mentioned in books many times! This is not surprising, as this place has a long and colorful past - from early explorers and settlers to the Oyster Wars and beyond, there's much to say about Virginia's Potomac River Playground.

Here are some links to books on Colonial Beach and others which make mention of or are set in and around our fine little riverside resort area.

Colonial Beach is mentioned 15 times in The Life of P

: A Memoir of a Mother and a Nurse by Lee Rice

Another one of the books on Colonial Beach is James Tigner's 2008 work, titled Colonial Beach, Virginia: Playground of the Potomac
