This post is for the people visiting Delray Beach and Palm Beach County. As I have mentioned more than enough times, Delray Beach is the perfect town for visitors. If you are lucky enough to be a resident, then you already know this. This Village by the Sea offers the perfect vacation spot because it has it all.
I love walking the town but for this post I needed a car. I have written about the wetlands before. But, it is good to mention them again, since this website is written in a blog style; you might forget or saw the pictures but never read the content of the post. I do have a few friends that do that, believe me.
Someone mentioned to me that I needed to visit the Wakodahatchee Wetlands. They said the birds are beautiful and throughout the year you can watch birds in their nests and new life showing its face.
There are 2 wetlands, not far from each other. One is called Wakodahatchee in suburban Delray and the other is called Green Cay Nature Preserve in suburban Boynton Beach.
Wakodahatchee Wetlands
Wakodahatchee means “created waters” and this is exactly what this is. Fifty acres have been transformed into a wetlands ecosystem. And since its transformation turtles, frogs, alligators and many species of birds call this nature preserve home.
It is located at 13026 Jog Rd. It is a little tricky but not that hard. You need to go west on Atlantic Ave., crossing over 95. Continue until Jog Rd and turn right. Go through the intersection of Lake Ida and about 1/4 mile on the right you will see it. The sign is not very big, though.
This is the southeast side of Palm Beach County Water Utility Department’s Southern Region Operation Center. Tel. 561-493-6000. Website? http://www.pbcgov.com/waterutilities/wakodahatchee/location.htm.
It opens from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. It is the perfect place to relax, walk and enjoy nature. It is free. The 3/4 mile elevated boardwalk takes you through twists and turns, all the time enjoying the view. It is quiet and there are areas to rest. You will see photographers, walkers and someone just sitting and relaxing, taking in the scenery. I like it in the early evening; the birds are coming for the night.
“Every day, PBC Water Utilites Dept. Southern Region Water Reclamation Facility pours approximately 2 million gallons of highly treated water into Wakodahatchee’s wetlands. By acting as a natural filter for the nutrients that remain, the wetlands work to further clean the water.”
Green Cay Nature Preserve
Same type of setting as Wakodahatchee; but bigger. Ninety acres of nature preservation. Green Cay is located at 12800 Hagen Ranch Rd. It is suburban Boynton Beach between Boynton Beach Blv. and Atlantic Ave.
This elevated wetland boardwalk is 1.5 miles long. It winds through the wetlands and it really is the perfect place to take in a walk either early in the morning or late in the afternoon. It is open every day from sunrise to sunset. The actual Nature Center is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 1 until 4:30 p.m., Saturdays from 8:15 until 4:30 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 until 4:30 p.m.
For more information please visit http://pbcgov.com/waterutilities/waterfacts/green_cay.htm.
If you have gone to the beach, walked the town, eaten, shopped, then get in your car and check this out. It is never boring; it changes every second of the day. It is worth it.
Have a great day….talk to you later…..

I can recommend Doggies at the Beach with complete confidence. I have used the overnight care for my dog, Addy, so many times.
Doggies at the Beach will have a FLOAT on Saturday. All are welcomed to walk right along the FLOAT with your doggie and have a “Bow Wow” time. Just let Jim know by calling the above mentioned telephone number.

 Little Chief Owl - 8/31/1994 Many years ago, 1976, even before I considered living in Bethany Beach, I came to this town and right on Garfield Parkway there was a fairly young man, with his dog, and a small fire; it was fall. He was sculpting and his name was Peter Wolf Toth. I engaged him in conversation and he proceeded to tell me that he was donating the sculpting of the indigenous wood of the State of Delaware as a gift. The sculpture was to be known as Chief Little Owl and Peter Wolf Toth was paying honor to the Nanticoke Nation.
He was working there for so long that residents would bring him food.
Peter Wolf Toth was self taught and a humanitarian who wanted to give thanks to the United States. His journey was called “Trail of the Whispering Giants”.
He created more than 50 sculptures of famous Indians and donated one to every state. Some larger states have more than one.
His original sculpture, of Chief Little Owl, who welcomes everyone that visits Bethany Beach was weakened by termites and in 1992 it was destroyed by heavy winds. The remains are at the Nanticoke Indian Museum in Millsboro, Delaware.
The second Totem Pole was done by Dennis Beach and this one lasted until 2000; rot forced the town to take it down.
My picture is from the second one, taken on 8/31/94.
Peter Wolf Toth, again, created the newest version from a red cedar log from the Pacific Northwest which should last 50-150 years. It was dedicated on 7/15/02.
You cannot miss it. It is really a landmark in Bethany Beach.

“You can comb the sands or lie in the sun. The choice is yours, as long as it is fun.”
Just about 24 hours ago I had gone to check how Rehoboth Beach was doing. Afterall, Rehoboth Beach is opening, this Memorial Week-End, its doors to all the summer visitors as that season we love gets under way.
It is that time of the year when we all get that casual attitude; shorts, t-shirts, and best of all, no schedule. We cook outdoors, eat outdoors and after the type of winter we have had it is such a pleasure to have great weather this week-end. Oh, yes, 79 degrees. Once again, living on the coast is such a treat.
Just as Rehoboth has opened its doors, so have all the beaches in Delaware and Ocean City, Maryland. What make these towns tick are the residents, the merchants and the food. Yes, food; pizza, popcorn, ice cream, and french fries. In Rehoboth Beach you do not have to walk far from the beach to find all these summer “delicacies”, all within a block of each other.
Let me show you a bit of what I am talking about.
 Rehoboth Boardwalk 48 Hours Ago  Rehoboth Boardwalk - South Side - 48 Hours Ago  Sunday  Sunday Then I decided to take a look at the beach and it was so crowded. It was a very warm day but the water is still cold so everyone was just under the umbrellas. It was a sea of umbrellas.
I love it!!! It is so good to see everyone down here. I have not read any statistics as of yet, but it is one of the most crowded Memorials everyone has seen. Last night, I had to go through Dewey Beach and this is the beach town where the word “party” is taken to the next level. Non stop beach activities, food and music. And, at around 11:00 p.m. it was unreal.
 Salt Water Taffy  Candy  Ice Cream  Grotto Pizza  Nicola  French Fries  Dip them in a little bit of Apple Cider Vinegar  The Best 
Yes, I am, definitely, looking forward to summer.
I will be talking to you later….but please have in mind that Monday is Memorial Day…Remember all of those who have died for our country in order for us to enjoy our freedom….

“The Sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.” by Jacques Cousteau
With that in mind I have to tell you that today, Friday, it is one of those days that make you want to smile all day long. Why? Beacause it is gorgeous!!
This is not a long post by any means. I just got so excited when I went to the beach in downtown Rehoboth and the water was so calm and the dolphins were jumping. I was trying to capture them with the camera but they were too fast. You will see a glimpse of them in a couple of pictures.
The boardwalk, newly finished also looks fantastic. This Boardwalk is perfect for walking, biking or just for breathing in that wonderful ocean air. I just love it.
Have a great day!!…That’s it!!!
February 1st, 2010
