Colonial Beach Memories
Whether you visited, lived or grew up here, you've got some Colonial Beach memories that stick in your mind. I fondly recall a great meal I had with friends and co-workers at the former Still Waters Grille on Monroe Bay Ave. It was a beautiful day, we had a delicious meal and an awesome view of the bay. Colonial Beach has a long history of entertaining folks from all over the world, and fond recollections of time spent in our riverside resort town are common. Post yours here to share, and read ones that others have posted. You can even add up to 4 photos!
