And if you like history, then you will love staying on the historic homeplace of Pocahontas, her father Chief Powhatan and America's first English settlements in the new world (Jamestown and Henricus). The Indian massacre of 1622 took place here as did battles during the revolutionary war and also the civil war. In fact, the marina's property is located on the site of the battle of New Market Heights. Bird life is everywhere, including Bald Eagles, Egrets, Great Blue Herons, Little Green Herons, Hawks, Song Birds, Humming Birds, Prothonotary Warblers and Hoot Owls. So, if you enjoy such creatures, then you have come to the right place. And if you like four legged creatures, you are also in luck, because our forest are full of them., But if you prefer the two legged kind that inhabits our nightlife scene, you will find them at the nearby and brand new, LILY PAD CAFE, or in Shockoe Bottom, Scott's Addition or Carytown. Like sports? We have the new COLONIAL CAPIOLTRAIL. It is a paved bike/walk/running trail that goes all the way from Richmond to Williamsburg/Jamestown, a total of 52 miles. Or, you can canoe, fish, sail, and so on right here in the beautiful James River. And when it is time to go out for dinner, the LILY PAD CAFE IS ONLY TWO MILES AWY AND IT IS ALL OUT DOOR SEATING UNDER A CIRCUS LIKE TENT WITH AMPLE HEATERS. And if craft brewski is your thing, then you are in luck, Richmond was recently named the #3 craft brewery city in the country, with Legends Brewery receiving the #1 national award for its light beer!
