Visit Colonial Beach Virginia (CBVA)

"I was there on Memorial Day and was walking in the water near the casino. You can see the dilapidated pier that once stood. But what you can't see is a huge beam on the ocean floor and I rammed my leg right into it. It created a huge injury on my shin which then required an antibiotic and a tetanus shot. Tetanus shot. There should be a warning sign on one of the post signifying that this huge beam is under the water. I tried to reach out to town council but did not really get a response from them. A warning sign would be easy to put up. I walked out of the water with blood running all down my leg. Not one person came over and asked me if I was OK. I'm sure many people saw me do it as it was a packed day on Memorial Day. I'm going back again soon and I'm gonna see if there's a warning sign up because I did contact town council"

"So far I've only experienced a nice community masks or no masks it was all about a nice day and kindness."

"It’s not a dog friendly. It was our first time with our dog, Labrador Retriver, who likes to swim cause they were bred for fish retrieving. Came in October , so we could walk him there. No hotels or vacations rentals are allowed dogs. Had to go all the way to King George. People are crowding it without social distancing guidance. There was a runners marathons. None of them were masks after or before their run while sitting down and socializing. People approached us to pet a dog while not wearing masks. Police cared more about our dog swimming and were mean to us and the dog, rather then observing people actually breaking COVID guidelines. Fishers stay and fish at the pier for more then posted. Paid for parking 3 hours, had to leave after 2. King George and Caledon State Park are nicer. Not ever coming back. Too bad the money the town invested are only for the police safety and them riding around and hollering at visitors, not for the pleasure of travelers."

"Colonial Beach is a golf-cart community! I had never been to the area before and I had to meet a client there. We got in late and grabbed a bit to eat at a local place and were sitting outside when a bunch of people zipped past. I haven't been in a place that allows people to drive carts around in years. The next day, after meetings, I got to take one for a ride all around town. This is the BEST way to see the area."
