Another way to Williamsburg is to continue up the James River to Jamestown. Very interesting. Whoops, just noticed you alread came back down river, so FYI for future reference.

Yorktown is fun especially if you are a history buff. I think they still have moorings there which saves a few bucks, or you can dock at the nice Riverwalk complex.

Deltaville is a boaty's haven. It also has a nice Maritime Museum in a pretty park and gardens equipped with a dinghy dock off Johnson Creek, where there are a few places to anchor. As I mentioned before, Fishing Bay is a roomy, lovely anchorage with good shoreside access at the north end, a pleasant hike into town.

A very nice alternative as mentioned before is to keep going up the Rappahannock to Urbanna, which is a bit more of a "town", and very charming. You can anchor off or get a slip.
