You can also anchor along the beach in Colonial Beach, feeling your way in until you reach a comfortable depth, again if the weather is settled. I've spend many many nights at anchor in similar grounds along Mason Neck. In Colonial Beach the tidal current is stronger than further up the river so pay mind to your ground tackle.
