Events, Activities…Delaware Beaches…Rehoboth Beach…Lewes…Ocean City, Maryland…Delray Beach, Florida…and More…
Coastal Highway is crowded, people are visiting the outlets for those great bargains but each individual town at my beaches have their own thing going. I, particularly, like to visit the small shops. You get to talk to the owners and learn what they are all about. One of the nicest things about these beach communities is that you can just go get a cup of coffee or tea, then walk to the boardwalk, check out the beach, take a deep breath and recharge.
The following are some of the events that are happening:
