Alexandria Spotlight

Waterfront Activities

Alexandria rests on the historic banks of the Potomac River. Our waterfront is a cheerful place to walk and enjoy the scenic views of the National Harbor and Washington D.C. The Alexandria waterfront is also a popular location for enjoying live music and street performers. Many restaurants offer delicious meals along the water, or you can grab a quick bite to eat and relax on a bench as sailboats glide by on the beautiful Potomac River.
