Welcome to my This and That podcast, Beauty in the Beach, Part 1. Join Bryce Hall, your host, as she shares personal anecdotes about her favorite seasonal plants that adorn the coastal landscape of Colonial Beach's beloved Point. The ancient oaks, sycamore and towering pine trees stand as silent witnesses to the storied past of the family beach cottage, Pollyanna. Her narrative doesn't shy away from the challenges faced by the community, such as the devastation wrought by Hurricane Isabel in 2003 and the 2017 straight-line windstorm. These events, not only tested Colonial Beach but also showcased its resilience, strength and unity. #CBSTRONG

Bryce invites listeners to see The Point not just as a picturesque spot, but as a place rich with personal history, memory and community spirit.
