CB Guide is the complete local guide to Colonial Beach, Virginia — built for visitors and residents alike. Everything in town, in your pocket. Every restaurant, bar, brewery, and ice cream stop with hours and directions. This week's events and live music, updated daily from local venues and the town calendar. Festivals and what's coming up next. Made for the water. Real-time tide charts, marine weather, and fishing information for the Potomac. Live webcams around town, local radio, and a live channels hub. Find your way. An interactive map of the whole town — beaches, parks, boat ramps, landmarks, and every place in the guide, with one-tap directions. For residents too. Grocery, medical, contractors, town services, and local resources, one tap from the home screen. Ask anything. A built-in assistant answers questions about Colonial Beach — where to eat, what's on tonight, when the tide turns. Works offline. Core guide content stays available even with spotty beach cell service. No account, no sign-up, free.
