Discover Marina Way in Colonial Beach, VA

Welcome to one of the friendliest waterfront destinations on the Chesapeake. Marina Way is home to eight marinas, three restaurants, a brewery, and a waterfront motel, all lining the shores of beautiful Monroe Bay.

Just beyond the water, Colonial Beach offers a lively, walkable town filled with additional dining, shopping, and services — all easily reached on foot or by rental golf cart. The town’s vibrant, Main Street‑approved downtown sits beside Virginia’s second‑largest beach, giving you everything you need for a perfect coastal getaway.

Once you arrive, you’ll find it surprisingly hard to leave. There’s more to do each day than you’ll have time for, from waterfront relaxation to local events, live music, and outdoor adventures. Marina Way also serves as a natural gateway to nearby breweries, wineries, campgrounds, and the Northern Neck’s remarkable historic sites.

Explore the graphic below to locate each marina along Marina Way. This website highlights what every marina offers — slips, amenities, services, and direct contact links for details. To support visiting boaters, the town also maintains a large public boat launch near the end of Marina Way for trailable vessels.
