Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Ready for the Summer of 2012!! Delaware Beaches, Let Summer Begin!!
Rehoboth Beach is more than ready for the opening of the 2012 Summer Season. Memorial Week-End starts it all. Downtown Rehoboth Beach looked so pretty today. Last day for all of us that have enjoyed the winter and spring without the worries of parking meters. But, all good things must come to an end. Meters will start tomorrow at 10 a.m. until midnight.
Rehoboth Beach is trying to make it easier for its visitors. Many ways in which to pay for parking. The new thing is the Park Mobile. It is supposed to relieve parking stress. I am not sure about that, because first you have to find a space. At the height of the summer season, it is not only stressful, but maddening. Don’t you think?
To pay for parking you can use a mobile app, QR Code or call 1-877-727-5758. Once you have found a parking space, launch the free mobile app or call the number above mentioned. Enter the parking zone number located on the meter. It is that easy!! Please visit www.parkmobile.com. On Facebook you can find it as ParkmobileUSA and on Twitter they are found as Parkmobile. It applies to all street meters.
You can also still use the good old quarters and there are plenty of change stations along Rehoboth Ave. And, there are parking passes for the day, extended stay and seasonal, as well. Please visit http://www.cityofrehobothbeach.com. Click on Parking Information.
Beach wheels are available for visitors with disabilities from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day. You can located those at Maryland Ave. and the Boardwalk, and at Laurel St. and the Boardwalk. Beach access ramps are located on those streets, as well. Remember that they are on a first come first serve basis.
QR Code on the back for scanning with your smart phone.
Sand Dollar Savings. To obtain 10% off any regular price items you need to get your Sand Dollar Card. You need to present the card at time of purchase and it can be used all season. It is free too. There is a list of participating retailers in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, Route One, Dewey Beach and Lewes. Just stop by at the Visitors’ Center located at 501 Rehoboth Ave., by the roundabout and pick up the card.
To find retailers, look for the Sand Dollar Decal on the store front doors/windows. You can also scan the QR code with your smart phone for the list of participating retailers.
There is an expectation in the air that this summer season will be a spectacular one; even a better one if the weather cooperates, just like it has been all winter and spring.
By the Bandstand and Boardwalk I found NBC Channel 10, Philadelphia. I guess they were doing a live broadcast.
Looking south on Rehoboth Beach was looking good.
Looking north was just as pretty.
And, then, I looked at the Flags at half mast…..is more than the 2012 Opening of the Summer Season. What was I thinking? It is Memorial Week-End.
