Fairview Beach is off Route 218 in King George County. It's home to a great restaurant called Tim's II and it's been host to the Aquapalooza events. In the same county, there's a beach and picnic area complete with boat launch on the Virginia side of the Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge, which is Route 301 north into Maryland. Instead of getting on the bridge, take a left towards the Visitor's Center. In and around the Colonial Beach area, most neighborhood subdivisions offer private beach access and are typically open to residents and their guests only. These include Ebb Tide Beach, Berkeley Beach, Westmoreland Shores, Stratford Harbor and more. There are beach areas at both George Washington's Birthplace and further down Route 3 at Westmoreland State Park.
Further east you'll find Chesapeake Bay, Virginia and Sandbridge beaches. These are probably the most well-known in the state as they cover an area of about 35 miles of coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. With such a wide variety of beach areas to choose from in "The Old Dominion" make sure to add this place to your list of things to see on your next trip!
