Colonial Beach

According to virginia.org Colonial Beach is both a river town and a beach town, home to the second-longest beach in the state.  Did you know that Westmoreland County is one of 2 counties in the U.S. to be the birthplace of two Presidents George Washington and James Monroe. President Madison was born in nearby at Belle Grove Plantation in King George County.  This city is perfect for hosting a day at the beach or spending the day with a special friend. There are plenty of shops than places to get a cocktail and an entree.  Who knew this gem was only an hour away.     Montross is a quaint city along the way.  I enjoy walking around looking at the local street art.
