Washington, D.C./Waterfront Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020

Typical Southwest Waterfront scene—charming D.C. row houses, construction, and government brutalist monstrosity

The Waterfront, lies just south of the National Mall, but despite its attractions and location, has remained overlooked by most visitors to the city. Don't make this mistake; walk down to the Fish Wharf and have some seafood! The neighborhood is often referred to as the "Southwest," as it is part of that rare SW quadrant of the city—the vast majority of the city's southwest quadrant (modern day Arlington and Alexandria) retroceded to Virginia in the early nineteenth century to avoid the criminalization of the slave trade.
